RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Use of Molecular Orbital Calculations as an Aid to Correlate the Structure and Activity of Cholinesterase Inhibitors JF Molecular Pharmacology JO Mol Pharmacol FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 137 OP 144 VO 1 IS 2 A1 NEELY, W. BROCK YR 1965 UL http://molpharm.aspetjournals.org/content/1/2/137.abstract AB This study is an attempt to use molecular orbital (MO) calculations as an aid in correlating chemical structure with the ability of the material to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor. Several different carbamates and organophosphates were examined in this fashion. The interpretation of the results illustrates the utility of MO theory in correlation studies. In addition, it suggests a new way of looking at the action of certain inhibitors of cholinesterase.
