Ex vivo anticholinesterase activity of benzoic acid derivatives

Chem Biol Interact. 2005 Dec 15:157-158:368-9. doi: 10.1016/j.cbi.2005.10.055.

Abstract

p-Aminobenzoic acid (p-ABA) derivatives were evaluated as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs). Finding a correlation between AChE activity with the partition coefficient (log P) and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy of the compounds.
