Galantamine is a potent inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with IC50 value of 410 nM. [1]
Acetylcholinesterase is a hydrolase. It belongs to carboxylesterase family of enzymes It hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and has very high catalytic activity. AChE exits in many types of conducting tissue: nerve and muscle, motor and sensory fibers and central and peripheral tissues. AChE located on the post-synaptic membrane. It stops the signal transmission by hydrolyzing ACh. Ach plays an important role in neurotransmission. ACh is released into the synaptic cleft then binds to ACh receptors which located on the post-synaptic membrane. Inhibition the activity of AChE will result in impeded neurotransmission by leading to accumulation of ACh in the synaptic cleft. AChE also is an important target for Alzheimer disease.[1]
Galantamine significantly decreased apoptotic effect induced by thapsigargin at 300 nM in SH-SY5Y cells. Galantamine can more significantly increase cell viability in LDH assays at 10 nM in neuroblastoma cells. Galantamine at 300 nM increase the cell viability treated with Aβ. Galantamine significantly increaseed the expression level of Bcl-2 by 3.1 fold at 300nM in chromaffin cells.[1]
Galantamine can significantly incrase the mRNAs level of IGF2 at 3mg/kg in the mice hippoc ampus. Galantamine also transient decrease the BDNF mRNA levels and increase the FGF2 mRNA levels. Galantamine significantly increased the expression of IGF2 protein levels at 3 mg/kg in the hippocampus of mice.[2]

| Cell experiment [1-3]: | |
|
Cell lines |
Post-mortem human brain frontal cortex and hippocampus region, M10 cells, Rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells |
|
Preparation method |
Soluble in DMSO. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. |

|
Applications |
Galanthamine inhibited the activity of acetylcholinesterase with the IC50 of 14 nM and 15 nM on AChE in post-mortem human brain frontal cortex and the hippocampus region. Red-cell cholinesterase activity in blood samples from the neurosurgery patients was 10 times more strongly inhibited by Galanthamine in brain tissue samples. Galanthamine (1 μM) activated single channels in outside-out patches excised from dexamethasone mouse fibroblasts (M10 cells). Galanthamine acts as noncompetitive nicotinic receptor agonists' on clonal rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Galanthamine (50 μM) activated single-channel currents in outside-out patches excised from clonal PC12 cells. |
| Animal experiment [4]: | |
|
Animal models |
Male ddY mice |
|
Dosage form |
Intraperitoneal injection, 0.3-3 mg/kg |
|
Application |
Acute administration of Galantamine (0.3-3 mg/kg, i.p.) increased IGF2 mRNA levels in time- and dose-dependent manner. Galantamine (3 mg/kg, i.p.) increased fibroblast growth factor 2 mRNA levels and decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA levels in the hippocampus. Galantamine increased hippocampal IGF2 protein. |

Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
