1 Synergistic inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase by galantamine and citalopram. Galantamine butyrylcholinesterase Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Galantamine almost completely inhibited BuChE at low substrate concentrations (V(S)=43.6 muM/min; V(S(gal))=0.34 muM/min) without influencing the substrate-activated form of the enzyme (V(SS)=64.0 muM/min;V(SS(gal))=62.3 muM/min). Galantamine butyrylcholinesterase Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: Citalopram and galantamine produce a combined inhibition of BuChE that is considered to be synergistic. Galantamine butyrylcholinesterase Homo sapiens
4 GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: Clinical benefit from combined galantamine and citalopram may be related to a synergistic inhibition of BuChE, facilitating cholinergic neurotransmission. Galantamine butyrylcholinesterase Homo sapiens
