title: Fluorescent method for evaluation of cholinesterase inhibitors.
abstract: The sensitivity of detection of anticholinesterase compounds (e.g. tacrine) by the biochemical method significantly increased when fluorogenic compound N-(4-(7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarine-3-yl)phenyl)maleimide was used instead of Ellman's reagent. A kinetic fluorescent method for evaluating cholinesterase inhibitors is proposed.
