N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors: Structure, function, and role in organophosphorus compound poisoning
Autori: Dora Kolić, Zrinka Kovarik Sažetak radaAcute organophosphorus compound (OP) poisoning induces symptoms of the cholinergic crises with the occurrence of severe epileptic seizures. Seizures are induced by hyperstimulation of the cholinergic system, but are enhanced by hyperactivation of the glutamatergic system. Overstimulation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors by the elevated acetylcholine causes glutamatergic hyperexcitation and an …

Profiling Novel Quinuclidine-Based Derivatives as Potential Anticholinesterase Drugs: Enzyme Inhibition and Effects on Cell Viability
Autori: Suzana Žunec, Donna Vadlja, Alma Ramić, Antonio Zandona, Nikola Maraković, Iva Brekalo, Ines Primožič, Maja Katalinić Sažetak radaThe cholinergic system, relying on the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), plays a significant role in muscle contraction, cognition, and autonomic nervous system regulation. The enzymes acetylcholinesterase, AChE, and butyrylcholinesterase, BChE, responsible for hydrolyzing ACh, can fine-tune the cholinergic system’s …
