- Inhibits acetylcholinesterase
- Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter in the body that is made, stored, and released by the end of motor nerve terminals. Acetylcholine is metabolized by an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase that hydrolyzes acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction—neostigmine is one of the drugs in the class of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
