AP2238 was the first compound published to bind both anionic sites of the human acetylcholinesterase, allowing the simultaneous inhibition of the catalytic and the amyloid-β pro-aggregating activities of AChE. Here we attempted to derive a comprehensive structure-activity relationship picture for this molecule, affording 28 derivatives for which AChE and BChE inhibitory activities were evaluated. Selected compounds were also tested for their ability to prevent the AChE-induced Aβ-aggregation. Moreover, docking simulations and molecular orbital calculations were performed.
