PyPLIF HIPPOS and Receptor Ensemble Docking Increase the Prediction Accuracy of the Structure-Based Virtual Screening Protocol Targeting Acetylcholinesterase.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
In this article, the upgrading process of the structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) protocol targeting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) previously published in 2017 is presented. The upgraded version of PyPLIF called PyPLIF HIPPOS and the receptor ense...

A pendant droplet-based sensor for the detection of acetylcholinesterase and its inhibitors.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)
In this work, a pendant droplet-based sensor is developed for the rapid and label-free detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its inhibitors. The detection limit of AChE reaches 0.17 mU mL. The pIC values of AChE inhibitors such as neostigmine,...

Machine learning models to select potential inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase activity from SistematX: a natural products database.

Molecular diversity
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, representing 60-70% of dementia cases. The enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) cleaves the ester bonds in acetylcholine and plays an important role in the termination of acetylcholine activity a...

Machine learning-based modeling to predict inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase.

Molecular diversity
Acetylcholinesterase enzyme is responsible for the degradation of acetylcholine and is an important drug target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. When this enzyme is inhibited, more acetylcholine is available in the synaptic cleft for the use...

Virgin Coconut Oil-Induced Neuroprotection in Lipopolysaccharide-Challenged Rats is Mediated, in Part, Through Cholinergic, Anti-Oxidative and Anti-Inflammatory Pathways.

Journal of dietary supplements
Neuroinflammation is associated with neuronal cell death and could lead to chronic neurodegeneration. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of virgin coconut oil (VCO) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytotoxicity of neuroblas...

Design of Natural-Product-Inspired Multitarget Ligands by Machine Learning.

ChemMedChem
A virtual screening protocol based on machine learning models was used to identify mimetics of the natural product (-)-galantamine. This fully automated approach identified eight compounds with bioactivities on at least one of the macromolecular targ...

Peroxidase-like activity of acetylcholine-based colorimetric detection of acetylcholinesterase activity and an organophosphorus inhibitor.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
Colorimetric detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its inhibitor organophosphates (OPs) is attractive for its convenience, but the addition of exogenous catalyst to produce a chromogenic agent may result in complexity and interference. Herein,...

MOST: most-similar ligand based approach to target prediction.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Many computational approaches have been used for target prediction, including machine learning, reverse docking, bioactivity spectra analysis, and chemical similarity searching. Recent studies have suggested that chemical similarity searc...

Effects of mutations on the structure and function of silkworm type 1 acetylcholinesterase.

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
AChE is the target of organophosphate (OP) and carbamate (CB) pesticides, and mutations in the gene can significantly reduce insects' sensitivity to these pesticides. Bombyx mori is highly sensitive to pesticides. To investigate the effects of mutati...
