Ex vivo anticholinesterase activity of benzoic acid derivatives.
p-Aminobenzoic acid (p-ABA) derivatives were evaluated as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs). Finding a correlation between AChE activity with the partition coefficient (log P) and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy of the compounds.
