Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Physostigmine salicylate is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor, a parasympathomimetic alkaloid. It also can cross the blood-brain barrier and is used when central nervous system effects are desired, as in the treatment of severe anticholinergic toxicity.

Product Data
Biological target:
Physostigmine salicylate (Eserine salicylate) is a reversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
The present study was performed to investigate a possible pre- and post-treatment effect of physostigmine on soman-inhibited human AChE given at different time intervals before or after perfusion with soman by using a well-established dynamically working in vitro model for real-time analysis of erythrocyte and muscle AChE. The major findings were that prophylactic physostigmine prevented complete inhibition of AChE by soman and resulted in partial spontaneous recovery of the enzyme by de-carbamylation. Physostigmine given as post-treatment resulted in a time-dependent reduction of the protection from soman inhibition and recovery of AChE. Reference: Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2011 May 15;253(1):7-13. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21402092/
In vivo activity:
Administration of physostigmine and donepezil improved deficits in contextual and cued memory in Tg(+) mice so that their behaviors became more similar to Tg(-) mice. However, administration of physostigmine and donepezil tended to improve cued memory and deficits in spatial learning in both Tg(+) and Tg(-) mice. Physostigmine administration demonstrated more prominent effects in improving contextual memory than donepezil, while donepezil was more effective than physostigmine in improving deficits in the acquisition of the spatial memory paradigm.
