A series of 3-substituted-7-aminoalcoxy-coumarin was designed and evaluated as cholinesterase inhibitors and antioxidants. All compounds were effective in inhibiting AChE with potencies in the nanomolar range. The 3-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-7-aminoethoxy-coumarin (6a) was considered a hit, showing good AChE inhibition potency (IC<sub>50</sub> = 20 nM) and selectivity (IC<sub>50</sub> BuChE/AChE = 354), quite similar to the reference drug donepezil (IC<sub>50</sub> = 6 nM; IC<sub>50</sub> BuChE/ ...[more]
