Abstract
Membrane-bound AChE is widely used for the estimation of the inhibitory activity of various agents studied in AD therapy. The interpretation of both results is of great importance for clinical study and application of new drugs. Antioxidants (AO) inhibitors of free radical processes, present a promising group of compounds for AD treatment. We investigated the action of some AO on the kinetic properties of membrane-bound AChE of human erythrocytes and rat brain synaptosomes.
