[ Method] The optimal conditions for assaying the activity of AChE in different parts of P. astrigera were determined by orthogonal experiment. The distribution conditions of acetyl cholinesterase （AChE） in different tissues of P. astrigera were further studied, and the sensitivities of the enzyme tO four common pesticides were also determined. [ Result] The optimal condition for assaying the activity of AChE in cephalothorax, abdomen and appendage of P. astrigera was as follows, enzyme concentrations： 12, 18 and 29 g/L; substrate concentrations： 0.6, 1.0 and 1.0 mmol/L; pH value, 7.0; reaction temperatures： 30, 35, 35℃ ; reaction time, 5 rain. AChE was mainly distributed in the cephalothorax of P. astrigera. The specific activity of AChE in the extract solution with Triton X-100 was higher than that in the solution without Triton X-100. The median inhibitory concentrations （IC50） of methomyl, phoxim, betacypermethrin, chlorpyrifos against AChE in the cephalothorax of P. astrigera were 7.76 × 10^-5, 1.76×10^-4, 4.12 ×10^-4 and 4.94 ×10^-4 mol/L, respectively. [ Conclusion] AChEs in P. astrigera were membrane-bounded. The inhibition of four pesticides against AChE in the cephalothorax of P. astrigera had good dese-effect, this indicated that AChE in the cephalothorax of P. astrig- era could be used as the biochemical marker to monitor the contamination of organic phosphorus, carbamate and pyrethroid pesticides in the environment.展开更多

Results showed that the CoMFA and CoMSIA models were constructed successfully with a good cross-validated coefficient （q2） and a non-cross-validated coefficient （R2）, and the binding modes obtained by molecular docking were in agreement with the 3D-QSAR results, which suggests that the present 3D-QSAR model has good predictive capability to guide the design and structural modification of novel multitargeted AD inhibitors. Meanwhile, we found that one side of inhibitory molecule should be small group so that it would be conductive to enter the gorge to interact with the catalytic active sites of AChE （acetylcholinesterase）, and the other side of inhibitory molecule should be large group so that it would be favorable for interaction with the peripheral anionic site of ACHE. Furthermore, based on the 3D-QSAR model and the binding modes of AChE and [3-secretase （BACE-1）, the designed molecules could both act on dual binding sites of AChE （catalytic and peripheral sites） and dual targets （ACHE and BACE-1）. We hope that our results could provide hints for the design of new multitargeted AD derivatives with more potency and selective activity.展开更多
