A Series of Novel 1-H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione Derivatives as Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors: In Silico, Synthesis and In Vitro Studies

The derivatives of isoindoline-1,3-dione are interesting due to their biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Several series have been designed and evaluated for Alzheimer's therapy candidates. They showed promising activity. In this work, six new derivatives were first tested in in silico studies for their inhibitory ability against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzymes. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation were applied. Next, these compounds were synthesized and characterized by
