Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity is increasing in Alzheimer Disease (AD) process (Lane et al., 2006). BuChE wild type has stronger butyrylcholine esterase activity than BuChE K variant allele and this strong activity can affect AD brain negatively by choline depletion. Rivastigmine has unique dual action - acetylcholine esterase inhibition and butyrylcholine esterase inhibition. Therefore, rivastigmine can lower serum butyrylcholine esterase activity and delay functional decrease of Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) images in AD patients with BuChE wild type allele by strong BuChE inhibition.
It suggests that rivastigmine can affect brain function differently by BuChE genotype in AD. Therefore, we will try to find the different changes of serum butyrylcholine esterase activity by ELISA and functional and structural changes of brain between BuChE wild type and K-variant type by FDG PET and MRI pre and post images after 12 month use of rivastigmine.
