Eseroline is a potent µ-opioid receptor agonist, which is the hydrolytic metabolite of Physostigmine (HY-N6608). Eseroline is a selective and competitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, with its Ki values for AChE and BuChE being 0.1 µM and 200 µM respectively. Eseroline has nicotinic acetylcholine receptor allosteric enhancing ligand (nAChR-APL) activity, meaning it does not activate the receptor but significantly enhances the signal transduction of Ach triggered by the receptor. Eseroline is neurotoxic, causing cell membrane damage (LDH leakage) and energy metabolism collapse (ATP depletion). Eseroline can be used for the study of Alzheimers disease[1][2][3].
