Additive effects of specific inhibition of BChE and AChE on amplitude of contractions of rat urinary bladder strips. Specific inhibition of BChE by iso-OMPA (50 μM) enhances ACh-induced contractions. Similar levels of potentiation of contractions (≈20%) were observed when iso-OMPA was applied alone or upon application of various concentrations of C547 (0.5–50 nM) – a specific AChE inhibitor. Iso-OMPA has no significant additional effect when applied after pyridostigmine (1 μM) – a non-specific cholinesterase inhibitor. Data are presented as mean ± SEM pooled from ten urinary bladder strips in each group. Asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) from control. Cross sign (+) indicates statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in effects of combined application of iso-OMPA (50 μM) and C547 (0.5–50 nM) and application of any given single concentration of C457. Hash/pound sign (#) indicates statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in effects of C547 (50 nM) and pyridostigmine (1 μM).
