Erythrocyte Acetylcholinesterase-Inhibitory Activity of Porphyrin Compounds

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition is important because of its health-related implications. Three porphyrin derivatives, Tetraphenylporphinesulfonate (TPPS), 5, 10, 15, 20-Tetrakis (4sulfonatophenyl) porphyrinato Iron (III) Chloride (FeTPPS) and 5, 10, 15, 20-Tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrinato Iron (III) nitrosyl Chloride (FeNOTPPS), were tested by Molecular Docking as inhibitors of ...

Oligostilbenoids with acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity from Dipterocarpus alatus.

Phytochemical investigation of the stem wood of Dipterocarpus alatus led to the isolation and characterization of four new oligostilbenoids, dipterocarpols A-D (1-4), together with two known resveratrol oligomers, hopeahainol (5) and hopeafuran (6). The structures of the new compounds were determined by comprehensive spectral analysis including 1D and 2D NMR, and high-resolution MS. The absolut...
