Description

Benzoylthiocholine Iodide is a high-purity organic salt primarily used as a critical substrate in biochemical assays. This compound is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories requiring precise and reliable enzymatic activity measurements. It serves as a key reagent for the colorimetric and spectrophotometric determination of cholinesterase enzyme activity, making it vital for the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and diagnostic industries.

Application

• Primary substrate for the assay of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity.
• Essential reagent in diagnostic kits for detecting organophosphate and carbamate pesticide exposure.
• Used in neuroscience research to study cholinergic system function and enzyme inhibition kinetics.
• Critical component in high-throughput screening (HTS) for drug discovery targeting cholinesterases.
• Applied in environmental monitoring to assess the toxicity of water and soil samples.
• Utilized in the quality control of pharmaceuticals that act on the cholinergic pathway.
