1. 9-Amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine (THA), an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, significantly inhibited in vitro the ATP diphosphohydrolase activity of synaptosomes from the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of adult rats. 2. THA did not inhibit in vitro the 5'-nucleotidase activity of synaptosomes from cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats. 3. THA exerted an uncompetitive inhibition on ATP diphosphohydrolase activity. This mechanism of inhibition was the same in the 2 different synaptosomal fractions (cerebral cortex and hippocampus) studied. 4. THA, proposed as a drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, can alter in vitro ATP degradation in synaptosomes from the central nervous system.

PMID:Effects of 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine (THA) on ATP diphosphohydrolase (EC 3.6.1.5) and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) from rat brain synaptosomes. 918 16

1. The effect of several central nervous system active drugs was studied in vitro on ATPase-ADPase activity and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity from the cerebral cortex of adult rats. 2. Lithium (1.0-10.0 mM) had no effect on either ATPase-ADPase or acetylcholinesterase activity. 3. Imipramine (0.5-5.0 mM), desipramine (0.5-5.0 mM), amitriptyline (0.1-1.0 mM) and diazepam (0.5-2.0 mM) inhibited ATP and ADP hydrolysis at all concentrations tested. 4. AChE activity was altered by imipramine (1.0-2.0 mM) and by diazepam (0.5-2.0 mM). 5. The possible participation of ATP diphosphohydrolase and AChE in the action of these drugs cannot be ruled out. The probable reduction of ATP, ADP and acetylcholine hydrolysis by the inhibitory effect of these drugs is discussed.
