A novel series of bispyridinium-type acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors derived from obidoxime, being active in the lower micromolar range, has been reported recently. According to the hypothesis that shorter pyridinium compounds should exhibit higher activity, a new series of compounds was synthesized that has 2,6-dichlorobenzyl, 2-chlorobenzyl and phthalimidomethyl moieties, resp., at one end of the mol. and that are systematically shortened from the contralateral end. The concentration inhibiting the AChE and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) by 50% (IC50) was evaluated by means of Ellman’s test. Compounds characterized by a phenylpropyl residue at the contralateral end (3) were found to have IC50 values comparable with tacrine. In addition, the affinity of 3c toward the BChE was lower, indicating a lower degree of side effects. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-(3-Bromopropyl)-4-methoxybenzene (cas: 57293-19-3Category: bromides-buliding-blocks).
1-(3-Bromopropyl)-4-methoxybenzene (cas: 57293-19-3) belongs to organobromine compounds. Many of the organo bromine compounds are relatively nonpolar. Bromine is more electronegative than carbon (2.8 vs 2.5) and hence the carbon in a carbon–bromine bond is electrophilic in nature. The reactivity of organobromine compounds resembles but is intermediate between the reactivity of organochlorine and organoiodine compounds. For many applications, organobromides represent a compromise of reactivity and cost.Category: bromides-buliding-blocks
