Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of open D-Ring galanthamine analogues

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Jul 21;13(14):2389-91. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(03)00397-4.

Abstract

Open D-ring galanthamine analogues were prepared using ring-opening reactions of the quaternarized urethane or oxazolidine functions and were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition potency.
