In the present study, new 4-(1<i>H</i>-benzimidazol-2-yl)-benzene-1,3-diols, modified in both rings, have been synthesized and their efficacies as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitors have been determined. The modified Ellman's spectrophotometric method was applied for the biological evaluation. The compounds showed strong (IC₅₀ 80-90 nM) AChE and moderate (IC₅₀ 5-0.2 µM) BuChE inhibition in vitro. Some compounds were effective toward AChE/BuChE, exhibiting hi ...[more]
