| Abstract | It is well known that the principal biomolecules involved in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are acetylcholinesterase (AChE), acetylcholine (ACh) and the amyloid beta peptide of 42 amino acid residues (Aβ42). ACh plays an important role in human memory and learning, but it is susceptible to hydrolysis by AChE, while the aggregation of Aβ42 forms oligomers and fibrils, which form senile plaques in the brain. The Aβ42 oligomers are able to produce hydrogen peroxide (H$_{2}$O$_{2}$), which reacts with metals (Fe$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, Cr$^{3+}$, Zn$^{2+}$, and Cd$^{2+}$) present at high concentrations in the brain of AD patients, generating the hydroxyl radical ($^{·}$OH) via Fenton (FR) and Fenton-like (FLR) reactions. This mechanism generates high levels of free radicals and, hence, oxidative stress, which has been correlated with the generation and progression of AD. Therefore, we have studied in vitro how AChE catalytic activity and ACh levels are affected by the presence of metals (Fe$^{3+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, Cr$^{3+}$, Zn$^{2+}$, and Cd$^{2+}$), H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ (without Aβ42), and $^{ · }$OH radicals produced from FR and FLR. The results showed that the H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ and the metals do not modify the AChE catalytic activity, but the $^{·}$OH radical causes a decrease in it. On the other hand, metals, H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ and $^{·}$OH radicals, increase the ACh hydrolysis. This finding suggests that when H$_{2}$O$_{2}$, the metals and the $^{·}$OH radicals are present, both, the AChE catalytic activity and ACh levels diminish. Furthermore, in the future it may be interesting to study whether these effects are observed when H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ is produced directly from Aβ42. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
