title: Central cholinergic agents. II. Synthesis and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of N-[omega-[N-alkyl-N-(phenylmethyl)amino]alkyl]-3-arylpropenamides.
abstract: A series of N-[omega-[N-alkyl-N-(phenylmethyl)amino]alkyl]-3-arylpropenamides was prepared and tested for its inhibitory activities on acetylcholinesterase. Some in the series were found to be potent inhibitors. The structure-activity relationships were discussed in detail.
