Abstract
Several trimethylsilyl derivatives were found to be ligands of acetylcholinesterase (acetylcholine acetylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.7): trimethylsilylethyl acetate (III) and trimethylsilylmethyl acetate (V) are substrates of the enzyme, whereas trimethylsilylethanol (VIII) is a competitive inhibitor. The silicon compounds have kinetic parameters similar to those of their carbon analogues, except for trimethylsilylmethyl acetate, which is a substrate of acetylcholinesterase, whereas its carbon analogue is not susceptible to enzymic hydrolysis.
