N-Acetylimidazole

N-Acetylimidazole is a drug that belongs to the class of glycol esters. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and has been used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as myasthenia gravis. N-Acetylimidazole can inhibit the activity of other enzymes, such as p-nitrophenyl phosphate oxidase, which may be responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties. This drug has been shown to inhibit microbial growth in vitro by inhibiting the synthesis of choline and acetylcholine in the body. N-Acetylimidazole also inhibits bacterial growth by acting as a substrate molecule for bacterial enzymes that catalyze transfer reactions, including phosphotransferases and hydrolases.
