Human Acetylcholinesterase in complex with reactivator, HLo7
Structural highlights
FunctionACES_HUMAN Terminates signal transduction at the neuromuscular junction by rapid hydrolysis of the acetylcholine released into the synaptic cleft. Role in neuronal apoptosis.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe threat of a deliberate release of chemical nerve agents has underscored the need to continually improve field effective treatments for these types of poisonings. The oxime containing HLo-7 is a potential second-generation therapeutic reactivator. A synthetic process for HLo-7 is detailed with improvements to the DIBAL reduction and ion exchange steps. HLo-7 was visualized for the first time within the active site of human acetylcholinesterase and its relative ex vivo potency confirmed against various nerve agents using a phrenic nerve hemidiaphragm assay.
