Abstract excerpt
In the present study, the inhibitory mechanisms and effects of a synthetic phenazine dye, safranin O (SO) on human plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and recombinant BChE mutants were investigated. Kinetic studies showed the following information: SO leaded to linear competitive inhibition of human plasma BChE with Ki = 0.44 ± 0.085 μM; α = ∞. It acted as a...
