In Vitro Enzymatic and Kinetic Studies, and In Silico Drug-Receptor Interactions, and Drug-Like Profiling of the 5-styrylbenzamide Derivatives as Potential Cholinesterase and β-secretase Inhibitors with Antioxidant Properties

The 5-(styryl)anthranilamides were transformed into the corresponding 5-styryl-2-(<i>p</i>-tolylsulfonamido)benzamide derivatives. These 5-styrylbenzamide derivatives were evaluated through enzymatic assays in vitro for their capability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylchol...
