Implication

Study reveals distinct interaction of butyrylcholinesterase and carboxylesterase in benzoylcholine hydrolysis across rabbit liver, involving enzyme activities.

Key Points

This research aimed to clarify the role of butyrylcholinesterase and carboxylesterase in benzoylcholine hydrolysis.
Investigated rabbit lung and liver microsomes and cytosol fractions
Used kinetic inhibitory studies with eserine to determine enzyme activities
Compared interaction of enzymes across different tissue fractions
Butyrylcholinesterase was the key enzyme in the hydrolysis process
In rabbit lung microsomes, exclusive butyrylcholinesterase activity was observed
The involvement of carboxylesterase depended on the substrate structure and increased with the size of the ester component
