Further analysis revealed that both the CHE and the ACHE genes, encoding acetylcholinesterase (acetylcholine acetyl hydrolase; EC 3.1.1.7), are amplified in leukemias and platelet disorders and that the tumorigenic expression of these genes in ovarian carcinomas is associated with their frequent coamplification in these tumors.
Coamplification of human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase genes in blood cells: correlation with various leukemias and abnormal megakaryocytopoiesis.
These techniques can be applied, as preliminary screening methods for designing and/or selecting new compounds with defined activity.Here we describe step by step how to preliminarily screen ionic liquids (a set of 13 ILs) and assess their cytotoxic activity against leukemia cell line IPC-81 as well as ILs' potential to inhibit acetylcholinesterase enzyme using the TRIC method (toxicity ranking index of cations) combined with the QSAR approach.
