Abstract :
A series of piperidinium and pyridinium agents containing a common structural fragment of 5,6-dimethoxybenzothiophene have been synthesised as water-soluble acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Several compounds, for example 42 (AChE IC50 0.03 μM) have been found to reverse the neuromuscular blockade induced by vecuronium bromide in vitro and in vivo. Coupled with their high water solubility (up to 30–60 mg/mL), these compounds are potentially useful as intravenous reversal agents of neuromuscular blocking agents in surgical anaesthesia.
