The quantitative characteristics between the structures of ferulic acid tertiary amine derivatives and their inhibition activities against ACHE were investigated with comparative molecular field analysis(CoMFA)and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis(CoMSIA).The result showed that the reliable and reasonable CoMFA-1(Q 2=0.576,r 2=0.992)and CoMSIA(Q 2=0.468,r 2=0.987)models were established.The models revealed the relationship between the structure of these compounds and their inhibition activity against acetylcholinesterase in vitro,which provided valuable clues for the rational d...
