AB  - Abstract: Bioassays based on the determination of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity are used for the detection and neurotoxicity evaluation of organophosphate insecticides. However, AChE bioassays are convenient for oxo and iso forms, whereas the limits of detection (LODs) of thio forms, being used as commercial insecticide preparations are significantly higher. In this study various malathion concentrations (1 × 10–9–5 × 10–4 mol/L) were treated with the oxidizing agent, N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in concentration ratios: 1 : 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 10, and 1 : 20 to find efficient oxidation resulting in as possible as lower LODs of the used assays based on electric eel AChE (20 min-preincubation) and immobilized AChE incorporated in flow-injection analysis (FIA) system. Malathion–NBS ratio of 1 : 10 was found as the most efficient and resulted in a decrease of LOD about 100 times for both AChE bioassays. In the case of free AChE the obtained LOD values after the NBS-induced oxidation of thioorganophosphates (1 : 10), malathion, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos were as follows: 1.0 × 10–8, 1.3 × 10–8, and 1.0 × 10–8 mol/L, respectively. In addition, LOD values for the FIA-AChE system involving a pre-step with NBS induced the following LOD values: 7.2 × 10–7, 1.3 × 10–6, and 1.8 × 10–7 for malathion, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos, respectively. Furthermore, IC50 values of the corresponding oxo forms were found to be similar to those for the studied thioorganophosphates, which indicates a potential stoichiometric conversion of the thio to oxo forms under the established oxidation conditions.

AB  - Taking into account that powder paprika is among spices that are often subjected to adulteration, the aim of this work was the analysis of twelve different branded powder paprika collected from Serbian markets. The total content of ash and sand was determined, and results have shown that values ranged from 5.40 to 7.80% and from 0.77 to 2.23%, respectively. The inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry method was used for the quantification of 16 elements (Cd, Fe, Ni, Pb, Be, Zn, Cu, Mo, Ti, Sr, Ca, Al, B, Cr, Mg and Mn). Among all determined elements, the most abundant was Ca, followed by Mg and Fe. UV spectroscopy was used as a screening method to determine the adulteration level with Sudan I dye of spice paprika powders. It was found that none of the investigated samples contain Sudan I dye. Furthermore, multivariate classifications models were created for discrimination based on adulterant and powder paprika content in sample mixtures.

AB  - The development of highly efficient methods for removing hazardous substances from the environment attracts increasing attention. Understanding the basic principles of the removal processes using graphene materials is equally essential to confirm their application efficiency and safety. (2) Methods: In this contribution, adsorption of pesticide dimethoate (DMT) on graphene-based materials has been investigated on the molecular level. (3) Results: The experimental results’ analysis revealed a cooperative binding mechanism of the DMT on the adsorption sites of investigated materials—graphene oxide (GO) and industrial graphene (IG). The adsorption data were analyzed using various adsorption isotherms to determine the thermodynamics of the adsorption process. The experimental results were correlated with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of DMT adsorption on the model surfaces that appropriately describe the graphene materials’ reactive features. (4) Conclusions: Considering experimental results, calculated adsorption energies, optimized adsorption geometries, and electronic structure, it was proposed that the dispersive interactions determine the adsorption properties of DMT on plain graphene sites (physisorption). Additionally, it was shown that the existence of vacancy-type defect sites on the surfaces could induce strong and dissociative adsorption (chemisorption) of DMT. © 2021 by the authors.

AB  - A new approach to drug design based on nanoparticles and related nanostructures for effective drug delivery, is of great importance in future medical treatment, especially for cancer therapy. Nanomaterials hold tremendous potential for increasing the efficiency of drug delivery, with a high degree of biocompatibility. Additionally, for biomedical applications, they must be biodegradable, have prolonged circulation half-life, not tend to aggregate or cause an inflammatory response in the body and to be cost-effective. The efficacy of such structures is highly dependent on their chemical properties as well as on shape, charge, size, surface modifications and loading method. Here we focused on the potential of using different kinds of nanoparticles and similar nanostructures loaded with various drugs in order to achieve specific targeting and controlled drug release. Thereby, computational modeling on NPs-based drug delivery could help in providing a better understanding of all parts of the delivery system. This review emphasizes recent advances in the usage of various types of nanoparticles and similar nanostructures for drug delivery, aiming to provide a critical review of less toxic and more effective treatment.

AB  - The simple green method for synthesis of stable L-Methionine (L-Met) capped silver (Ag@LM NPs) and gold (Au@LM NPs) nanoparticles (NPs) without adding any additional reduction agent or stabilizer was developed. Colloidal dispersions were characterized by UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The size and spherical shape of NPs were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. Their surface covering was confirmed by atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential measurements. Density functional theory calculations pointed that the preferential adsorption mode of L-Met on both Ag and Au surfaces was a vertical binding geometry via –NH2 group, while horizontal binding mode via [sbnd]S[sbnd] and –NH2 groups is also possible. The genotoxicity (evaluated by the micronucleus assay) of NPs, as well as their effects on some oxidative stress parameters (catalase activity, malondialdehyde level), were assessed in vitro using human peripheral blood cells as a model system. The influence of NPs on the morphology of lymphocyte cells studied using atomic force microscopy revealed that the membrane of cells remained unaffected after the treatment with NPs. When considering the effects of NPs on catalase activity and malondialdehyde level, neither particle type promoted oxidative stress. However, the treatment of lymphocytes with Ag@LM NPs induced a concentration-dependent enhancement of the micronuclei incidence and suppression of the cell proliferation while Au@LM NPs promoted cell proliferation, with no significant effects on micronuclei formation. The Ag@LM NPs were more prone to induce DNA damage than Au@LM NPs, which makes the latter type more suitable for further studies in nano-medicine. © 2019

AB  - Abstract: This paper presents the study of the interaction between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and antitumor gold complexes, [Au(OH)2(bipy)][PF6], [Au(CH3COO)2(pydmb-H)], and [Au(bipydmb-H)(OH)][PF6], in order to estimate the possibility for metal complex tracking in cells using nanospectroscopy approach. Decrease of intensity of the surface plasmon absorption band at 524 nm and the appearance of a new broad band at ∼640 nm, followed by their red shift were observed in the presence of the complexes. TEM images showed that the average size and shape of AuNPs did not change after the addition of gold complexes. DLS and zeta potential measurements pointed out to the metal complex adsorption on the surface of AuNPs followed by flocculation process. In addition, kinetic studies indicated strong bond formation between these complexes and AuNPs. Accordingly, AuNPs/complex conjugates have the potential to be applied for the tracking of these metal complexes in the cells using nanospectroscopy approach. © 2019, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.

AB  - UV-C irradiation is widely used in the food industry. However, the health effects from dietary exposure to the irradiated pesticide residues retained in foodstuffs are underestimated. In this study, technical chlorpyrifos (TCPF) and its oil in water (EW) and emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations were irradiated by UV-C, and their photodegradation products were subjected to toxicity assessment, including determination of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, genotoxicity and oxidative stress using human blood cells as a model system. Toxicity studies were performed using the chlorpyrifos concentrations in the range of those proposed as the maximum residue levels in plant commodities. TCPF, EW and EC photodegradation products induced DNA damage and oxidative stress, and their genotoxicity did not decrease as a function of irradiation time. Irradiated TCPF and EC are more potent AChE inhibitors than irradiated EW. Accordingly, the application of UV-C irradiation must be considered when processing the plants previously treated with chlorpyrifos formulations. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Concerning the particular nutritive value of honeydew honey compared to blossom honey, and small number of studies defining botanical origin of honeydew honey, comprehensive analysis of phenolic profile of 64 honeydew honey samples of specific botanical origin was performed. Two advanced techniques of liquid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry were used for identification of a total of 52 compounds and quantification of 25 of them. Pattern recognition analysis applied on data on phenolic compounds content confirmed that quercetin, naringenin, caffeoylquinic acid, hydroxyphenylacetic acid, apigenin and genistein, could be considered as potential markers of botanical origin of honeydew honey. Spectroscopic and electrochemical approaches were applied for the evaluation of the antioxidant capacity. Quercus sps. samples, Quercus frainetto and Quercus ilex, showed high biological activity and specific chemical composition. Additionally, cyclic voltammetry profiles were used for characterization and natural clustering of honeydew honey for the first time. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Yellow gentian (Gentiana lutea ssp. symphyandra (Murb.) Hayek) is a high-mountainous perennial spontaneously growing on meadows and open slopes of the Eastern part of the Alps and the Balkan Peninsula. While the excessive exploitation endangered its survival in the nature in many European countries, the orientation to its large-scale production enables its protection at natural stands and satisfaction of increasing market demands for its roots, a highly-valuable herbal drug (Gentianae radix). During the six-year field trial established with Yellow gentian nursery plants on black water-air permeable and biodegradable film, in dry farming conditions of Mountain Tara (Serbia), the influence of a sigle basal application of farm yard manure and mineral fertilizer, at different planting densities (11.1, 13.3 and 16 plants m −2 ) on produced yield (roots), has been investigated. Single dose fertilization positively influenced the yields but did not provide optimal supplies for cultivated crop in the second part of experiment. It depended on crop age, planting density but also the climatic conditions. In the second part of plant production period, particulary in denser establishemnts, additional fertilization should be applied. Providing the appropriate amounts of fertilizers, Yellow gentian can be successfully grown even in the densest planting model (16 plants m −2 ), which is quite important in respect to the economic feasibility of cultivation. Similar yields achieved in mineral and organic treatments (4.51 kg m −2 and 4.85 kg m -2 of fresh root, respectively), suggest the roots might be successfully produced in both, conventional and organic cultivation model. In attempt to estimate impact of fertilization treatments on chemical quality of produced raw material (Gentianae radix) the content of several pharmacological constituents (loganic acid, swertiamarin, gentiopicroside, sweroside, amarogentin and isogentisin) was evaluated; gentiopicroside and loganic acid were the most dominant ones, regadless the fertilization, whereas the content of isogentisin was significantly increased in both, organic and mineral fertilization model, and content of sweroside, only in mineral model. With regard to the safety of produced raw material, the contents of biogenic (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu) and non-biogenic (Pb) trace elements were analyzed; all trace elements were within the safty limits except the Cd content which slightly exceeded the limit. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Intensive use of pesticides requires innovative approaches for their removal from the environment. Here we report the method for degradation of dimethoate in water using non-thermal plasma needle and analyze kinetics of dimethoate removal and possible degradation pathways. The effects of dimethoate initial concentration, plasma treatment time, Argon flow rate and the presence of radical promoters on the effectiveness of proposed method are evaluated. With argon flow rate of 0.5 slm (standard litres per minute) 1 × 10−4 M dimethoate can be removed within 30 min of treatment. Using UPLC analysis it was confirmed that one of the decomposition products is dimethoate oxo-analogue omethoate, which is in fact more toxic than dimethoate. However, the overall toxicity of contaminated water was reduced upon the treatment. The addition of H2O2 as a free radical promoter enhances dimethoate removal, while K2S2O8 results with selective conversion to omethoate. Using mass spectrometry in combination with the theoretical calculations, possible degradation pathways were proposed. The feasibility of the proposed method for dimethoate degradation in real water samples is confirmed. The proposed method is demonstrated as a highly effective approach for dimethoate removal without significant accumulation of undesirable toxic products and secondary waste. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were functionalized with three distinct antitumor gold(III) complexes, e.g., [Au(N,N)(OH)2][PF6], where (N,N)=2,2′-bipyridine; [Au(C,N)(AcO)2], where (C,N)=deprotonated 6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-pyridine; [Au(C,N,N)(OH)][PF6], where (C,N,N)=deprotonated 6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-2,2′-bipyridine, to assess the chance of tracking their subcellular distribution by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) techniques. An extensive physicochemical characterization of the formed conjugates was, thus, carried out by applying a variety of methods (density functional theory—DFT, UV/Vis spectrophotometry, AFM, Raman spectroscopy, and SERS). The resulting gold(III) complexes/AuNPs conjugates turned out to be pretty stable. Interestingly, they exhibited a dramatically increased resonance intensity in the Raman spectra induced by AuNPs. For testing the use of the functionalized AuNPs for biosensing, their distribution in the nuclear, cytosolic, and membrane cell fractions obtained from human lymphocytes was investigated by AFM and SERS. The conjugates were detected in the membrane and nuclear cell fractions but not in the cytosol. The AFM method confirmed that conjugates induced changes in the morphology and nanostructure of the membrane and nuclear fractions. The obtained results point out that the conjugates formed between AuNPs and gold(III) complexes may be used as a tool for tracking metallodrug distribution in the different cell fractions.

AB  - Background: Sulphur is an abundant element in biological systems, which plays an important role in processes essential for life as a constituent of proteins, vitamins and other crucial biomolecules. The major source of sulphur for humans is plants being able to use inorganic sulphur in the purpose of sulphur-containing amino acids synthesis. Sulphur-containing amino acids include methionine, cysteine, homocysteine, and taurine. Methionine and cysteine are classified as proteinogenic, canonic amino acids incorporated in protein structure. Sulphur amino acids are involved in the synthesis of intracellular antioxidants such as glutathione and N-acetyl cysteine. Moreover, naturally occurring sulphur-containing ligands are effective and safe detoxifying agents, often used in order to prevent toxic metal ions effects and their accumulation in human body. Methods: Literature search for peer-reviewed articles was performed using PubMed and Scopus databases, and utilizing appropriate keywords. Results: This review is focused on sulphur-containing amino acids - methionine, cysteine, taurine, and their derivatives - glutathione and N-acetylcysteine, and their defense effects as antioxidant agents against free radicals. Additionally, the protective effects of sulphur-containing ligands against the toxic effects of heavy and transition metal ions, and their reactivation role towards the enzyme inhibition are described. Conclusion: Sulphur-containing amino acids represent a powerful part of cell antioxidant system. Thus, they are essential in the maintenance of normal cellular functions and health. In addition to their worthy antioxidant action, sulphur-containing amino acids may offer a chelating site for heavy metals. Accordingly, they may be supplemented during chelating therapy, providing beneficial effects in eliminating toxic metals.

AB  - The present paper deals with investigation of the interaction between selected simple structure Au(iii) ([AuCl4]-, [AuCl2(dmso)2]+, [AuCl2(bipy)]+) and Pt(ii) ([PtCl2(dmso)2]) complexes with Na/K-ATPase as the target enzyme, using an experimental and theoretical approach. Reaction stoichiometries and binding constants for these enzyme/complex systems were determined, while kinetic measurements were used in order to reveal the type of inhibition. Based on the results obtained by quantum mechanical calculations (electrostatic surface potential (ESP), volume and surface of the complexes) the nature of the investigated complexes was characterized. By using the solvent accessible surface area (SASA) applied on specific inhibitory sites (ion channel and intracellular domains) the nature of these sites was described. Docking studies were used to determine the theoretical probability of the non-covalent metal binding site positions. Inhibition studies implied that all the investigated complexes decreased the activity of the enzyme while the kinetic analysis indicated an uncompetitive mode of inhibition for the selected complexes. Docking results suggested that the main inhibitory site of all these complexes is located in the ion translocation pathway on the extracellular side in the E2P enzyme conformation, similar to the case of cardiac glycosides, specific Na/K-ATPase inhibitors. Also, based on our knowledge, the hydrolyzed forms of [AuCl4]- and [PtCl2(dmso)2] complexes were investigated for the first time by theoretical calculations in this paper. Thereby, a new inhibitory site situated between the M2 and M4 helices was revealed. Binding in this site induces conformational changes in the enzyme domains and perturbs the E1-E2P conformational equilibrium, causing enzyme inhibition.

AB  - The wide use of pesticides in modern agriculture and other areas results in an urgent need for their efficient removal from the environment. Adsorption of pesticides is one of the most commonly used strategies for this task. Here we analyze the adsorption of two organophosphorus pesticides, dimethoate (DMT) and chlorpyrifos (CPF), on graphene-based materials. The adsorption was found to be very sensitive to the structure of the adsorbents used. In particular, aliphatic DMT was found to prefer hydrophilic oxidized graphene surfaces. The CPF molecule, which contains an aromatic moiety, prefers adsorption on the surface of a graphene basal plane with high structural order and preserved π electron system. The toxicity of pesticide solutions is reduced after adsorption, suggesting that there is no oxidation of DMT and CPF to more toxic oxo forms. We emphasize that the combination of structural properties of adsorbents and adsorbates defines the adsorption of organophosphorus pesticides on graphene-based materials, while the specific surface area of adsorbents is not the major factor.

AB  - In recent years, the search for effective anticancer compounds based on transition metal complexes has been the focus of medical investigations. The synergy between the ruthenium(II) and N-alkylphenothiazine counter-ions (chlorpromazine hydrochloride, thioridazine hydrochloride and trifluoperazine dihydrochloride, respectively) through the formation of three different complexes (1–3) was investigated. We explored whether the selected counter-ions and complexes might affect redox homeostasis and genome integrity of normal human blood cells, and induce an inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase and AChE at pharmacologically relevant doses. Our results have shown that counter-ions and complexes did not affect the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase, while AChE activity was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. All investigated compounds disturbed the viability and redox homeostasis of lymphocytes. Complexes 1 and 2 displayed potent cytotoxic and prooxidant action while complex 3 behaved as a weaker genotoxic inducer. Still, the tested complexes appeared to be less genotoxic and more cytostatic than the corresponding counter-ions. The effects of selected complexes were also tested in PC12 and U2OS cancer cells with special attention being given to the ability of phenothiazines to affect dopamine D2 receptors. Using the confocal laser scanning microscopy, we observed that all the complexes reduced cell viability. Although all investigated complexes have been bound to the dopamine receptor D2-eGFP, only complex 3 reduced its surface density and increased its lateral mobility in investigated cell lines. Albeit the role of alternative targets for complex 3 cannot be ruled out, its effects should be further examined as potential treatment strategy against cancer cells that overexpress D2.

AB  - α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity (AGL) of fruit wine samples made from blueberry, black chokeberry, blackberry, raspberry and sour cherry cultivars grown in Serbia was studied using an microvinification procedure. More precisely, both sugar and enzyme were added to the fruit must before fermentation for half of the samples. This increased the extraction of phenolic compounds. All the samples showed higher bioactivity compared to acarbose, the compound used as a positive control. Blueberry (IC50 ~27 ± 1 µg/ml) and black chokeberry (IC50 ~28 ± 1 µg/ml) wine samples had the highest values regardless of the vinification method. In addition to this, chlorogenic and caffeic acids were recognised as their key AGL bioactives. Taken all together, the fruit wine samples or their lyophilised extracts may be considered as complementary medicine supplements of potential interest for the control of postprandial hyperglycemia.

AB  - The mechanisms of anticancer action of gold(III) complexes are still largely unexplored but appear to differ profoundly from cisplatin. There are several reports that some anticancer gold(III) complexes inhibit Na/K-ATPase activity. The docking studies predicted the binding sites for tested mononuclear and oxo-bridged binuclear gold(III) complexes (Figure) in the enzyme structures, in good accordance with the results obtained by experimental measurements. All gold complexes inhibited the enzyme activity in a concentration-dependent manner achieving IC50 values in the low micromolar range. The mechanism of Na/K ATPase inhibition by AubipyC and Aubipy(OH) is similar to that of cardiotonic steroids (Na/K exchange channel), while Aupy(OAc)2 appears to block the K+ binding site. The inhibitory actions of oxo-bridged binuclear complexes are related to E2-P enzyme conformation, by binding to exchange channel and intracellular part between N and P subdomains.

AB  - The in vitro effects of oxo-bridged binuclear gold(III) complexes, i.e., [(bipy2Me)(2)Au-2(mu-O)(2)][PF6](2) (Auoxo6), Au-2[(bipydmb-H)(2)(mu-O)][PF6] (Au(2)bipyC) and [Au-2(phen(2Me))(2)(mu-O)(2)](PF6)(2) (Au(2)phen) on Na/K-ATPase, purified from the porcine cerebral cortex, were investigated. All three studied gold complexes inhibited the enzyme activity in a concentration-dependent manner achieving IC50 values in the low micromolar range. Kinetic analysis suggested an uncompetitive mode of inhibition for Auoxo6 and Au(2)bipyC, and a mixed type one for Au(2)phen. Docking studies indicated that the inhibitory actions of all tested complexes are related to E2-P enzyme conformation binding to ion channel and intracellular part between N and P sub-domain. In addition, Au(2)phen was able to inhibit the enzyme by interacting with its extracellular part as well. Toxic effects of the gold(III) complexes were evaluated in vitro by following lactate dehydrogenase activity in rat brain synaptosomes and incidence of micronuclei and cytokinesis-block proliferation index in cultivated human lymphocytes. All investigated complexes turned out to induce cytogenetic damage consisting of a significant decrease in cell proliferation and an increase in micronuclei in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, lactate dehydrogenase activity, an indicator of membrane integrity/viability, was not affected by Auoxo6 and Au(2)bipyC, while Au(2)phen slightly modified its activity.

AB  - Na/K-ATPase is emerging as an important target for a variety of anticancer metal-based drugs. The interactions of Na/K-ATPase (in its E1 state) with three representative and structurally related cytotoxic gold(III) complexes, i.e. [Au(bipy)(OH)(2)][PF6], bipy = 2,2-bipyridine; [Au(py(dmb)-H)(CH3COO)(2)], py(dmb)-H = deprotonated 6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-pyridine and [Au(bipy(dmb)-H)(OH)][PF6], bipy(c)-H = deprotonated 6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-2,20-bipyridine, are investigated here in depth using a variety of spectroscopic methods, in combination with docking studies. Detailed information is gained on the conformational and structural changes experienced by the enzyme upon binding of these gold(III) complexes. The quenching constants of intrinsic enzyme fluorescence, the fraction of Trp residues accessible to gold(III) complexes and the reaction stoichiometries were determined in various cases. Specific hypotheses are made concerning the binding mode of these gold(III) complexes to the enzyme and the likely binding sites. Differences in their binding behaviour toward Na/K-ATPase are explained on the ground of their distinctive structural features. The present results offer further support to the view that Na/K-ATPase may be a relevant biomolecular target for cytotoxic gold(III) compounds of medicinal interest and may thus be involved in their overall mode of action.

AB  - Background: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is involved in the termination of impulse transmission by rapid hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in numerous cholinergic pathways in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The enzyme inactivation leads to acetylcholine accumulation, hyperstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, and disrupted neurotransmission. Hence, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, interacting with the enzyme as their primary target, are applied as relevant drugs for different neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons) as well as toxins. At the same time, there are increasing evidence that in non-neuronal context, AChE is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and cell-cell interaction. An irregular expression of AChE has been found in different types of tumors, suggesting the involvement of AChE in the regulation of tumor development. Having all this in mind, there is a possibility that some AChE inhibitors could be used as anti-cancer agents. Objective: This contribution will discuss a broad range of possible application of different AChE inhibitors as drugs, from well-known anti-Alzheimers disease drugs to their use in cancer treatment in future. Emphasis will be put on various known AChE inhibitors classes, whose application as drugs could be controversy, as well as on newly investigated natural products, which can also modulate AChE activity. Conclusion: It is not clear a patient treated for neurodegenerative condition prone to increased risk for some types of cancer and vice versa. This is necessary to keep in mind during rational drug design process for all therapies, which are based on AChE as a target molecule.

Objective: This contribution will discuss a broad range of possible application of different AChE inhibitors as drugs, from well-known anti-Alzheimers disease drugs to their use in cancer treatment in future. Emphasis will be put on various known AChE inhibitors classes, whose application as drugs could be controversy, as well as on newly investigated natural products, which can also modulate AChE activity. Conclusion: It is not clear a patient treated for neurodegenerative condition prone to increased risk for some types of cancer and vice versa. This is necessary to keep in mind during rational drug design process for all therapies, which are based on AChE as a target molecule.",
