Inhibice nikotinového acetylcholinového receptoru takrinem a jeho deriváty / Inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by tacrine and its derivatives

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ligand-gated ion channels which are located on neuromuscular junction and in central and perifric nervous system. Activity of nicotinic receptor might be modulated by variety of pharmacological agents. In this work, we have focused on the study of the inhibition effect of tacrine and its derivatives on the nicotinic acetycholine receptors of muscle and neuronal type. These derivatives function as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and also interact with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The majority of current forms of treatment of Alzheimer's disease is based on cholinesterase inhibitors. We have studied the mechanism of tacrine and its derivatives by using patch clamp method in the configuration of whole-cell recording. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
