Discovery of new butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors via structure-based virtual screening

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) plays an important role in the progression of the Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, we used a structure-based virtual screening (VS) approach to discover new BChE inhibitors. A ligand database was filtered and docked to the BChE protein using Glide program. The outcome...
