1ACJ shows the crystal structure of Torpedo californica acetylcholinesterase (TcAChE) complexed with tacrine.[1][2]

Tacrine is a parasympathomimetic and a centrally acting cholinesterase inhibitor.

It was the first centrally-acting cholinesterase inhibitor approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Tacrine’s ring is stacked between the aromatic rings of tryptophan 84 and phenylalanine 330
