Conjugation of Triterpenic Acids with 3-Aminoquinuclidine Moiety: An Approach to Acetylcholinesterase Mixed or Uncompetitive Type Inhibitors by Anastasiya V. Petrova, Ha T. T. Nguyen, Irina V. Zueva, Konstantin A. Petrov, Alexander N. Lobov, Oxana B. Kazakova

“…In turn, for the oleanane type, the amide with an indole unit in the A ring <b>11</b> exhibited the best activity with an IC₅₀ value of 0.47 µM (while the ursane-type analog was weakly active) and led to an uncompetitive type of inhibition. Thus, 3-amidoquinuclidine-triterpenoids conjugates could be considered novel inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase with a different mechanism of action.…”
