Metabolite Identification
Common NameTacrine
DescriptionTacrine, also known as tacrinal or THA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acridines. These are organic compounds containing the acridine moiety, a linear tricyclic heterocycle which consists of two benzene rings joined by a pyridine ring. Taste changesUnknown incidence adverse effects includeUrinary tract infectionDeliriumOther optic effects such as glaucoma, cataracts, etc (also not conclusively linked to tacrine treatment)DepressionSuicidal ideation and behaviourHypotensionBradycardiaAs stated above, overdosage of tacrine may give rise to severe side effects such as nausea, vomiting, salivation, sweating, bradycardia, hypotension, collapse, and convulsions. Tacrine is a drug which is used for the palliative treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the alzheimer's type. InsomniaRhinitisRashFatigueWeight lossConstipationSomnolenceTremorAnxietyUrinary incontinenceHallucinatonsAgitationConjunctivitis (a link to tacrine treatment has not been conclusively proven)Diaphoresis — sweating.Uncommon/rare (<1% incidence) adverse effects includeHepatotoxicity (that is toxic effects on the liver)Ototoxicity (hearing/ear damage; a link to tacrine treatment has not been conclusively proven)SeizuresAgranulocytosis (a link between treatment and this adverse effect has not been proven) — a potentially fatal drop in white blood cells, the body's immune/defensive cells. Atropine is a popular treatment for overdose. It was the first centrally acting cholinesterase inhibitor approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and was marketed under the trade name Cognex. Tacrine was the prototypical cholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Tacrine was first synthesised by Adrien Albert at the University of Sydney. Tacrine is a centrally acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and indirect cholinergic agonist (parasympathomimetic). Tacrine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Tacrine is a potentially toxic compound. Studies found that it may have a small beneficial effect on cognition and other clinical measures, though study data was limited and the clinical relevance of these findings was unclear. William K. Summers received a patent for this use. Major form of metabolism is in the liver via hydroxylation of benzylic carbon by CYP1A2. This forms the major metabolite 1-hydroxy-tacrine (velnacrine) which is still active. Tacrine has been discontinued in the US in 2013, due to concerns over safety.

General function:
Involved in monooxygenase activity
Specific function:
Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. Most active in catalyzing 2-hydroxylation. Caffeine is metabolized primarily by cytochrome CYP1A2 in the liver through an initial N3-demethylation. Also acts in the metabolism of aflatoxin B1 and acetaminophen. Participates in the bioactivation of carcinogenic aromatic and heterocyclic amines. Catalizes the N-hydroxylation of heterocyclic amines and the O-deethylation of phenacetin.
