title: Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of open D-Ring galanthamine analogues.
abstract: Open D-ring galanthamine analogues were prepared using ring-opening reactions of the quaternarized urethane or oxazolidine functions and were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition potency.
