Abstract:
Abstract BACKGROUND Low serum butyrylcholinesterase activity was associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a community-based study; however, there are no data from investigations of the long-term effects of butyrylcholinesterase on mortality in patients with diagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD). We therefore assessed the effect of butyrylcholinesterase activity on the outcomes of patients with CAD. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively included 720 patients in our study: 293 patients with stable CAD and 427 patients with acute coronary syndrome. During a median follow-up of 11.3 years corresponding to 6469 overall person-years, 278 deaths (38.6%) were recorded. We detected a significant and independent protective effect of butyrylcholinesterase on all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for a 1-SD increase, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.54–0.71; P < 0.001] and cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.54–0.76; P < 0.001) in a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. The 10-year survival rates were 42%, 74%, and 87% in the first, second, and third tertiles of butyrylcholinesterase activity. The presentation of CAD affected the effect of butyrylcholinesterase on mortality (P for interaction = 0.012), with a stronger association found in patients with stable CAD (adjusted HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.45–0.70; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates a strong inverse association between butyrylcholinesterase activity and long-term outcome in patients with known CAD. Because butyrylcholinesterase added predictive information after adjustment for established cardiovascular risk factors, additional underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and the potential applicability of butyrylcholinesterase activity for secondary risk prediction needs to be addressed in future studies.

Abstract:
1. The activity of serum butyrylcholinesterase (‘pseudocholinesterase’, EC3.1.1.8) was investigated in 56 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, 51 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 101 healthy control subjects. 2. Butyrylcholinesterase activity was significantly elevated in both type 1 (8.10 ± 3.35 units/ml) and type 2 (7.22 ± 1.95 units/ml) diabetes compared with the control subjects (4.23 ± 1.89 units/ml) (P <0.001). 3. In the patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, serum butyrylcholinesterase activity was correlated with log serum fasting triacylglycerol concentration (r = 0.41 and r = 0.43, respectively, P <0.001). In the type 2 population serum butyrylcholinesterase activity was also correlated with insulin sensitivity (r = −0.51, P <0.001). 4. Serum butyrylcholinesterase activity was unrelated to age, gender, serum γ-glutamyltranspeptidase activity, body mass index, or treatment for diabetes in both the diabetic populations. 5. In 37 non-diabetic patients with butyrylcholinesterase deficiency serum triacylglycerol levels were in the normal range. 6. These results are consistent with the view that butyrylcholinesterase may have a role in the altered lipoprotein metabolism in hypertriglyceridaemia associated with insulin insensitivity or insulin deficiency in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract:
The question addressed is whether an increased intake of cholesterol affects esterase-1 (EC3.1.1.1; ES-1) and butyrylcholinesterase (EC3.1.1.8) activity in plasma. Rats were fed on a purified diet either without or with cholesterol (10 g/kg) added at the expense of the carbohydrate source. Dietary cholesterol significantly decreased plasma butyrylcholinesterase activity, but raised plasma ES-1 activity. Evidence is discussed, suggesting that plasma butyrylcholinesterase is involved in plasma cholesterol metabolism, whereas esterase-1 is involved in intestinal cholesterol absorption.

Abstract:
One thousand Iranians belonging to 5 different Iranian ethnic groups were tested for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity and phenotype. The phenotype was measured as percent inhibition in the presence of dibucaine. It was found that the Iranian population had an extraordinarily high frequency of the atypical variant of butyrylcholinesterase. 70% to 80% of Iranians carried the atypical mutation (Asp70Gly) on one allele. This contrasts with European and American populations where only 4% carry the atypical allele. The atypical variant of butyrylcholinesterase is known to be associated with prolonged apnea after administration of the muscle relaxants succinylcholine and mivacurium, and is also thought to be associated with abnormal sensitivity to cocaine toxicity. This study demonstrates that the ethnic background of a person has an important role in a person's response to drugs.Key words: butyrylcholinesterase, dibucaine number, heterozygous genes, different Iranian ethnics, metabolic polymorphism.

Abstract:
The assessment of melatonin secretion in 25 men and serum butyrylcholinesterase level in 40 patients was performed in acute period of stroke. The interaction between these parameters and cognitive state was analyzed. The low levels of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin in daily urine and butyrylcholinesterase in blood were revealed. The 6-sulfatoxymelatonin level in daily urine < 4,0 ng/ml can be regarded as a potential biological marker of poststoke memory dysfunction. The serum butyrylcholinesterase level < 7,0 nmol/sec-l can be regarded as a potential biochemical marker of the multifunctional type of poststoke cognitive impairment.

Abstract:
Cocaine is a widely abused drug without an FDA-approved medication. It has been recognized as an ideal anti-cocaine medication to accelerate cocaine metabolism producing biologically inactive metabolites via a route similar to the primary cocaine-metabolizing pathway, i.e. butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)-catalyzed hydrolysis. However, the native BChE has a low catalytic activity against cocaine. We recently designed and discovered a set of BChE mutants with a high catalytic activity specifically for cocaine. An ideal, therapeutically valuable mutant of human BChE should have not only a significantly improved catalytic activity against cocaine, but also certain selectivity for cocaine over neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) such that one would not expect systemic administration of the BChE mutant to interrupt cholinergic transmission. Through integrated computational-experimental studies, several BChE mutants were identified to have not only a considerably improved catalytic efficiency against cocaine, but also the desirable selectivity for cocaine over ACh. Representative BChE mutants have been confirmed to be potent in actual protection of mice from acute toxicity (convulsion and lethality) of a lethal dose of cocaine (180 mg/kg, LD100). Pretreatment with the BChE mutant (i.e. 1 min prior to cocaine administration) dose-dependently protected mice against cocaine-induced convulsions and lethality. The in vivo data reveal the primary factor, i.e. the relative catalytic efficiency, determining the efficacy in practical protection of mice from the acute cocaine toxicity and future direction for further improving the efficacy of the enzyme in the cocaine overdose treatment. For further characterization in animal models, we successfully developed high-efficiency stable cell lines efficiently expressing the BChE mutants by using a lentivirus-based repeated-transduction method. The large-scale protein production enabled us to further characterize the in vivo profiles of the BChE mutant concerning the biological half-life and potency in accelerating cocaine clearance. In particular, it has been demonstrated that the BChE mutant can rapidly metabolize cocaine and completely eliminate cocaine-induced hyperactivity in rodents, implying that the BChE mutant may be developed as a promising therapeutic agent for cocaine abuse treatment.

Abstract:
Various types of electrochemical sensors based on the inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) have been presented for the analysis of organophosphates (OPC). A special design of thick film sensors and electrochemical detector for cholinesterases assay and their inhibitors in aqueous samples has been developed. For this assay, thiol sensitive sensors based on screen printed graphite electrode modified with nanoparticles of manganese dioxide were used. High sensitivity of manganese dioxide modified thick film sensors towards thiocholine and therefore low detection limit of BChE (1 pM) enabled their use for subnanomolar detection of an organophosphate pesticide diazinon, and other irreversible inhibitors of BChE. This work also presents modern innovative approach for the analysis of BChE by Raman spectroscopy. New SERS-substrates based on silver paste for sensitive quantification of BChE activity were obtained, characterized and applied to thiocholine detection, with LOD (TCh) being 260 nM. Real samples of human plasma were analyzed; a good correlation between spectrophotometric detection and Raman detection was shown. The developed technique is inexpensive and easy-to-use and has promising potential for analysis of OPC.

Abstract:
“Biocleaners” or “bioscavengers” are biological objects (enzymes, catalytic antibodies) that are capable of binding and/or hydrolyzing organophosphorus compounds (OPC). Their use seems to be the most effective alternative to traditional antidotes to neutralize or detoxify OPC. The introduction of bioscavengers allows neutralizing toxicant molecules in the bloodstream before they reach their biological targets, thereby providing protection against poisoning. Bioscavengers of the first-generation neutralized OPC molecules by stoichiometrically binding to them. The safety and efficacy of human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) for protecting against OPC poisoning has been shown. However, the stoichiometric neutralization of OPC requires the introduction of a huge amount of expensive biopharmaceuticals. Catalytic bioscavengers that hydrolytically neutralize OPC were introduced at a much lower dose to achieve the same degree of effectiveness. The most effective catalytic bioscavengers are enzymes. The most promising enzymes are artificial mammalian paraoxonase mutants and bacterial phosphotriesterases. However, studies of other enzymes, such as prolidases, oxidases, artificial mutants of cholinesterases and carboxyl esterases and catalytic antibodies are actively ongoing. Since OPC are pseudosubstrates of cholinesterases (ChEs), a detailed description of the mechanisms of inhibition, dealkylation, and spontaneous reactivation of phosphorylated ChEs is critical for the development of ChEs mutants with a high rate of hydrolysis of OPC. The review presents an analysis of different views on the mechanisms of interaction of ChEs with OPC, discusses the possible directions of creating effective catalytic biological traps based on BChE and changes in their mechanism of action as compared to the native enzyme. A separate section is devoted to the effect of mutations, both polymorphic and artificial, on the stability of the protein molecule of BChE.

Abstract:
“Biocleaners” or “bioscavengers” are biological objects (enzymes, catalytic antibodies) that are capable of binding and/or hydrolyzing organophosphorus compounds (OPC). Their use seems to be the most effective alternative to traditional antidotes to neutralize or detoxify OPC. The introduction of bioscavengers allows neutralizing toxicant molecules in the bloodstream before they reach their biological targets, thereby providing protection against poisoning. Bioscavengers of the first-generation neutralized OPC molecules by stoichiometrically binding to them. The safety and efficacy of human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) for protecting against OPC poisoning has been shown. However, the stoichiometric neutralization of OPC requires the introduction of a huge amount of expensive biopharmaceuticals. Catalytic bioscavengers that hydrolytically neutralize OPC were introduced at a much lower dose to achieve the same degree of effectiveness. The most effective catalytic bioscavengers are enzymes. The most promising enzymes are artificial mammalian paraoxonase mutants and bacterial phosphotriesterases. However, studies of other enzymes, such as prolidases, oxidases, artificial mutants of cholinesterases and carboxyl esterases and catalytic antibodies are actively ongoing. Since OPC are pseudosubstrates of cholinesterases (ChEs), a detailed description of the mechanisms of inhibition, dealkylation, and spontaneous reactivation of phosphorylated ChEs is critical for the development of ChEs mutants with a high rate of hydrolysis of OPC. The review presents an analysis of different views on the mechanisms of interaction of ChEs with OPC, discusses the possible directions of creating effective catalytic biological traps based on BChE and changes in their mechanism of action as compared to the native enzyme. A separate section is devoted to the effect of mutations, both polymorphic and artificial, on the stability of the protein molecule of BChE.

Abstract:
Abstract Pseudocholinesterase is a plasma enzyme that functions to hydrolyze esters in succinylcholine, mivacurium, and ester-type local anesthetic. Pseudocholinesterase is produced in the liver and exists as an α2-globulin. Pseudocholinesterase deficiency is a rare disorder that can be acquired or inherited. Patients are asymptomatic unless given a medication that requires hydrolysis for termination of action. Pseudocholinesterase deficiency can cause delayed awakening due to prolonged action of succinylcholine. The metabolism of chloroprocaine is significantly prolonged, leading to an extended duration of nerve blockade. Cocaine’s effects can be exaggerated as cocaine is an ester-linked local anesthetic. The dibucaine number can be used to quantify pseudocholinesterase activity. Treatment is typically supportive if pseudocholinesterase deficiency is undiagnosed.

Abstract:
Two new tacrine/pyrazole conjugates were designed, synthesized, and pharmacologically evaluated for their inhibitory activity toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). A scalable and cost-efficient synthetic route was developed, and key reaction steps for the synthesis of compounds 4a,b were nucleophilic substitution of α-aroylketene dithioacetals with tacrine intermediates, followed by cyclocondensation of respective N,S-acetals with hydrazine hydrate. The preliminary pharmacological evaluation revealed high inhibitory activities of 4a,b toward AChE (180 and 259 nM, respectively) and BuChE (51 and 95 nM, respectively) as compared with known inhibitor, tacrine. Overall, both compounds were more efficient BuChE inhibitors while 4a, with a shorter linker connecting tacrine and phenylpyrazole moieties, showed higher inhibitory activity toward both enzymes. Molecular docking analysis strongly corroborated pharmacological results since both compounds interacted favorably with target enzymes. Calculated pharmacokinetic properties (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) showed that 4a,b obey Lipinski’s rule of druglikeness and are promising lead compounds for the development of new drug candidates.
