These enzymes play important roles in several physiological/pathological processes. The aim of this study is to evaluate <i>in vitro </i> the effects of these drug active substances which use which use for treatment of Alzheimer disease on CA I and II isoenzyme. CA I and II isoenzymes from human blood have been purified using Sepharose-4B-l-tyrosine-sulfanilamide affinity chromatography method. The CA I isoenzyme was purified ~122.2-fold with a yield of 61.7%. The CA II isoenzyme was purified ~807.5-fold with a yield of 60%. rivastigmine was showed competitive inhibition and galantamine was showed uncompetitive inhibition for CAI. Both of these drug active substances were showed uncompetitive inhibition for CAII. K <sub>i </sub>values were determined for rivastigmine CA I: 0.79 µM; CA II: 1.08 µM and for galantamine CA I: 0.41µM; CA II: 0.40 µM. <b> </b>The results obtained in this study galantamine was identified as the most potent inhibitor. </span> <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Erzincan Binali Yildirim University}
