Product Data:
Biological target: Rivastigmine inhibits butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesteras (AChE) with IC50s of 0.037 μM , 4.15 μM, respectively. Rivastigmine can pass the blood brain barrier.
In vitro activity: The results from this study show that rivastigmine affords neuroprotection through a mechanism that is likely unrelated to AChE inhibition. For rivastigmine, the exact mechanism is unknown. PI3K-Akt blocker 2-(4-morpholinyl)-8-phenyl-1(4H)-benzopyran-4-one hydrochloride (LY294002) did not reverse the effects of rivastigmine. Reference: J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2005 Dec;315(3):1346-53. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16144975/
In vivo activity: In male rats, rivastigmine administration alleviated biochemical and histological parameters and partially ameliorated Botulinum toxin (Botox)-induced impairments. Rivastigmine could be a suitable protective approach for side effects of Botox in the hippocampus.The hippocampal cholinergic system plays a significant role in memory and learning that could be affected by Botox.
