Tacrine, also known as Cognex

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

Better Known as: Exelon

  • Marketed By:
  • Major Indication: Alzheimer's Disease
  • Drug Class: Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor
  • Date of FDA Approval (Patent Expiration):
  • 2006 Sales: $220 Million[1]
  • Why You Should Care: One of the the first treatments for the symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, although no definitive proof exists as to whether it alters the progression of the disease.
  • The following is a list of Pharmacokinetic Parameters. See: Pharmaceutical Drugs for more information

Mechanism of Action

is a carbamate inhibitor of AChE, and it is currenly used in therapy of Alzheimer's disease. Rivastigmine (colored yellow) interacts with TcAChE (colored lime) at the (1gqr). The carbamyl moiety of rivastigmine is to the active-site S200 Oγ. The second part of rivastigmine (the leaving group), NAP ((−)-S-3-[1-(dimethylamino)ethyl]phenol) is also held in the active-site gorge, but it is from the carbamyl moiety, hence, carbamylation took place. The of TcAChE/NAP (colored magenta) is known (1gqs). The TcAChE active-site residues which are interacting with NAP are colored violet. NAP is located in a similar region of TcAChE active site, but with different orientation than that of the NAP part (colored yellow) in the TcAChE/rivastigmine complex. Only H440 and F330 significantly change their side-chain conformations. of the TcAChE active sites in 4 different structures (TcAChE/rivastigmine (1gqr), TcAChE/NAP (1gqs), native TcAChE (2ace), and TcAChE/VX (1vxr, TcAChE colored white and VX black) reveals that the conformation of H440 in the TcAChE/NAP structure is very similar its conformation in the native TcAChE (2ace), but the distance between H440 Nδ and E327 Oε is significantly longer in the TcAChE/rivastigmine and the TcAChE/VX complexes. This structural change disrupts the catalytic triad consisting of S200, E327, H440. This could explain the very slow kinetics of AChE reactivation after its inhibition by rivastigmine [2].
