Glutamic acid functionalized fullerenol (F-Glu) based electrochemical AChE enzyme biosensor (GE/F-Glu/AChE) was utilized for the detection of acetylthiocholine chloride and pyridostigmine for the first time. The performance of the biosensor was validated, including recovery studies on human serum and urine, to assess method accuracy. The GE/F-Glu/AChE biosensor exhibited a Limit Of Detection (LOD) of 0.0004 mM and a Limit Of Quantification (LOQ) of 0.001 mM for acetylthiocholine chloride detection. Morphological and electrochemical characterizations of the biosensors were conducted using FT-IR, FE-SEM, AFM, CV, and EIS techniques. Furthermore, the biosensor was employed to investigate the inhibition of AChE activity by Pyridostigmine (PDT), with an IC50 value of 1.01 mM PDT. The inhibitory effect of PDT on the biosensor was explored in synthetic human serum, synthetic human urine, and pharmaceutical formulations containing PDT's active ingredient under optimal biosensor conditions.
