Abstract

An electrochemical method for the investigation and comparison of anti-Alzheimer medications that is based on the inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase is presented. The developed amperometric biosensor determines the in-vitro inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase that is co-immobilized with choline oxidase on the working electrode surface of a three-electrode system using gel entrapment. The sensor has been applied to determine the IC50values of two known and one newly developed Alzheimer remedy. A simultaneous measurement with the photometric standard method shows the applicability of our method for fast drug screening. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.
