The present work describes a new method to sense cholinesterase-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ACh) through a luminescence response of the hexarhenium cluster complex [{Re6S8}(OH)6](4-). A proton released from acetylcholinesterase (AChE)- or butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE)-catalyzed hydrolysis of ACh results in time-resolved...

Interdiscip Toxicol. 2014 Sep;7(3):134-8. doi: 10.2478/intox-2014-0018. Epub 2014 Dec 30.

Cholinesterases are enzymes able to hydrolyze the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and thus to terminate transmission. Once the enzymes are inhibited, excitotoxicity can appear in the adjacent cells. It is well known that oxidative stress is involved in the toxicity of...
