David is suffering from myasthenia gravis,a disease characterized by skeletal muscle paralysis.His doctor,Pablo,prescribes him with a certain drug that inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase,thereby increasing the concentration of acetylcholine at the nicotinic muscle receptors.This will,in turn,increase the strength of skeletal muscular contraction and improve David's condition.Which of the following drugs has Pablo most likely prescribed?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reversible inhibitors are used in the diagnosis and treatment of myasthenia gravis and Alzheimer's disease. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes skeletal muscle weakness and paralysis. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, the anticholinesterase drugs increase the concentrations of acetylcholine at the nicotinic-muscle receptors, which increases the strength of muscular contraction.
