General description

Butyrylthiocholine iodide is a sulfur-containing analog of butyrylcholine. It is used as a reagent for the determination of butyrylcholinesterase activity.

Application

  • Label-Free and Ultrasensitive Detection of Butyrylcholinesterase: A study demonstrated the use of Mn(II)-based electron spin resonance spectroscopy for the ultrasensitive detection of butyrylcholinesterase, using Butyrylthiocholine iodide as a substrate to quantify enzyme activity in the presence of organophosphorus pesticides, crucial for biochemical assay applications (Tang et al., 2022).
  • Novel Nanozyme for Biosensing: Research developed a Co, N co-doped porous carbon-based nanozyme, demonstrating its utility as an oxidase mimic for fluorescence and colorimetric biosensing of butyrylcholinesterase, employing Butyrylthiocholine iodide as a key substrate, relevant in enzyme kinetics analysis (Sun et al., 2022).
  • Detection System for Anti-Alzheimer′s Drug Screening: A fluorescent platform was constructed using copper nanoclusters and MnO2 nanosheets for the detection of butyrylcholinesterase activity, utilizing Butyrylthiocholine iodide, which may facilitate the screening of anti-Alzheimer′s drugs and probe cholinergic system interactions (Chen et al., 2022).
  • Dual-Channel Detection of Butyrylcholinesterase: A study introduced bifunctional metal-organic frameworks with integrated fluorescence and oxidase activities, developed for dual-channel detection of butyrylcholinesterase using Butyrylthiocholine iodide, enhancing methodologies in biochemical assays (Wang et al., 2022).
