Biological Activity

Description Donepezil is a specific and potent AChE inhibitor for bAChE and hAChE with IC50 of 8.12 nM and 11.6 nM , respectively.
Targets
bAChE [1] hAChE [1]
8.12 nM 11.6 nM
In vitro Donepezil inhibits the carbachol-stimulated increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration in human SHSY5Y neuroblastoma cells in a concentration dependent manner, indicating that Donepezil have muscarinic antagonist activity. [2] A recent study shows that Donepezil can protect human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) against H2O2-induced cell injury. This may be useful as a potential therapy for oxidative stress in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. [3]
In vivo Intraperitoneal administration of Donepezil in rats produces a dose dependent increase in salivation and tremor, which are overt cholinergic behavioural signs, with an ED50 of 6 μmol/kg. Donepezil is found to be somewhat less potent with a ED50 of 50 μmol/kg following oral administration. [2]. When administered separately in vivo, 5-HT(4) receptor inducer, RS67333 (0.3 and 1 mg/kg) and Donepezil (1 mg/kg) improves recognition performances compared to saline treated mice, while co-administration of subactive doses of RS67333 (0.1mg/kg) and Donepezil (0.3 mg/kg) improves memory. However, this improvement is prevented if a 5-HT(4)R antagonist (GR125487, 10 mg/kg) is also administered. [4]
