Synthesis and Biological Activity of Conformationally Controlled 2-PAM Derivatives

  • Published : 2000.06.01

Abstract

A series of conformationally controlled 2-PAM derivatives were prepared from 2-acetylpyridine and 2,3-pyrido[b]cycloalkenones in two steps and their reactivities towards parathion poisoned AChE were evaluated. The most planar 2,3-pyrido[b]cyclohexanone oxime methiodide showed an activity comparable to 2-PAM Implying E-syn is that the most active comformation of 2-PAM in the biological system.
