A set of overall 40 carboxamides was prepared from five different natural occurring triterpenoids including oleanolic, ursolic, maslinic, betulinic, and platanic acid. All of which were derived from ethylene diamine holding an additional substituent connected to the ethylene diamine group. These derivatives were evaluated regarding their inhibitory activity of the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) employing Ellman’s assay. We further determined the type of inhibition and inhibition constants. Carboxamides derived from platanic acid have been shown to be potent and selective BChE inhibitors. Especially the mixed-type inhibitor (3β)-N-(2-pyrrolidin-1-ylethyl)-3-acetyloxy-20-oxo-30-norlupan-28-amide (35) showed a remarkably low Ki of 0.07 ± 0.01 µM (Ki′ = 2.38 ± 0.48 µM) for the inhibition of BChE.

The skeleton of the diterpene dehydroabietylamine was modified, and a set of 12-hydroxy-dehydroabietylamine derivatives was obtained. The compounds were screened in colorimetric Ellman’s assays to determine their ability to act as inhibitors for the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE, from electric eel) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, from equine serum). Additional investigations concerning the enzyme kinetics were performed and showed 12-hydroxy-N-(4-nitro-benzoyl)dehydroabietylamine (13) and 12-hydroxy-N-(isonicotinoyl)dehydroabietylamine (17) as selective BChE inhibitors holding good inhibition constants Ki = 0.72 ± 0.06 μM and Ki = 0.86 ± 0.19 μM, respectively.
