Description：Benactyzine hydrochloride is a competitive BChE inhibitor with a Ki of 0.01 mM. Benactyzine hydrochloride is an anticholinergic drug. Benactyzine hydrochloride has the potential for organophosphate poisoning research.

In Vivo：Benactyzine hydrochloride (1 mg/kg) does not influence the attention response. Benactyzine hydrochloride increases the duration of the exploratory-motor reaction, but slightly diminishes the salivation elicited by acetylcholine. There is no blocking effect of Benactyzine hydrochloride and promazine on the EEG-seizure activity elicited by acetylcholine, and almost no inhibitory effect on emotional reactions. Emotional reactions are blocked by high doses of imipramine and promazine, but not by Benactyzine hydrochloride[2].

Animal Administration：Experiments are carried out in 36 cats of both sexes weighing 1.8 to 4 kg in a free-behavior situation. The experiments are carried out in the following order: after the first micro-injection of acetylcholine and/or serotonin and/or noradrenaline (200 μg) into the amygdala the changes in the behavior, autonomic reactions and EEG are recorded for a period of 10 min and then followed by intramuscular injections of imipramine and/or Benactyzine hydrochloride and/or promazine and/or saline (in control experiments). The second micro-injection of neurohormones (200 μg) into the amygdala is performed in 45 rain after the intramuscular injection of drugs and/or saline, and the effect is compared with the previous one, induced by the first micro-injection[2].

Kinase Assay：Butyrylcholinesterase activity is measured spectrophotometrically with spectrophotometer using butyrylthiocholine iodide (BTCh) as substrate. In the kinetic studies, initial velocities are measured at 37°C by using 0.25 mM 5,5’-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) in 5 mM 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) buffer, pH 7.5, and appropriate concentrations of Benactyzine hydrochloride and drofenine solutions prepared in water, as a function of BTCh concentration from 0.25 to 5.0 mM BTCh in 0.5 mL final volume of assay mixture (0.5 mL assay mixture contains 1.56 mg purified enzyme). Assays are carried out in duplicate and activities are measured for up to 90 s[1].
