Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 May 19;13(10):1825-7. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(03)00198-7.

Abstract

The synthesis, acetylcholinesterase inhibitory capacity and structure-activity relationships of simple-structured m-Aminobenzoic acid derivatives are reported. Compound 1b was found to be more potent than galanthamine and tacrine in inhibiting acetylcholinesterase.
