These Inhibitors were designed on the basis of QSAR studies, prior to elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of Torpedo californica AChE (TCAChE). It significantly enhances performance in animal models of cholinergic hypofunction and has a high affinity for AChE. binding to both electric eel and mouse AChE in the nanomolar range. E2020 and TcAChE. Exploring the Structure E2020 has a unique orientation along the active-site gorge, extending from the anionic subsite of the active site, at the bottom, to the peripheral anlonic site, at the top, via aromatic stacking interactions with conserved aromatic acid residues. E2020 does not, however, interact directly with either the catalytic triad or the 'oxyanion hole', but only indirectly via solvent molecules.
