Considering the limitations of current cholinesterase inhibitor drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, there is ongoing research activities to find out alternative drug candidates. The aryl-spacer-N-benzyl pharmacophore model has been effectively utilized to design various types of cholinesterase inhibitor molecules, including donepezil. Within this research study, we have questioned the significance of the benzyl group within this pharmacophore employing the urolithin derivatives. Urolithins are benzo[c]chromene analogue metabolites of ellagitannins, abundantly found in pomegranate and berry fruits. Read out full article here: http://www.eurekaselect.com/159057
