title: Synthesis of tetrakis(multifluoro-4-pyridyl)porphin derivatives as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
abstract: New tetrakis(multifluoro-4-pyridyl)porphin derivatives (2-4) and water soluble porphyrin (5) were synthesized to investigate their interactions with acetylcholinesterase from electric eel. These compounds have been found to be the potent reversible inhibitors of the enzyme with Ki values of microM range. In addition, porphyrin (5) showed broad spectrum of anticancer activities.
