Abstract

A series of 9-N-substituted berberine derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated as antioxidant and inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase and amyloid-β aggregation. Most of these compounds exhibited very good antioxidant activities, inhibitive activities of AChE and amyloid-β aggregation. Among them, compound 8d,(o-methylphenethyl) amino linked at the 9-position of berberine, was ...
