Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by β-amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles loss of cholinergic neurons. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition one the most critical strategy for treatment AD since BChE causes inactivation neurotransmitter acetylcholine has positive effects on promoting formation fibrils. Our previous stud...
