Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurologically degenerative disorder that affects more than 20 million people worldwide. The selective butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors and bivalent cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors represent new treatments for AD. A series of lycorine derivatives (1–10) were synthesized and evaluated for anti-cholinesterase activity. Result showed that the novel compound 2-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-1-O-(methylthio)methyllycorine (7) was a dual inhibitor of human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (hBChE) with IC50 values of 11.40 ± 0.66 μM and 4.17 ± 0.29 μM, respectively. The structure-activity relationships indicated that (i) the 1-O-(methylthio)methyl substituent in lycorine was better than the 1-O-acetyl group for the inhibition of cholinesterase; (ii) the acylated or etherified derivatives of lycorine and lycorin-2-one were more potent against hBChE than hAChE; and (iii) the oxidation of lycorine at C-2 decreases the activity. Acylated or etherified derivatives of lycorine are potential dual inhibitors of hBChE and hAChE. Hence, further study on the modification of lycorine for ChE inhibition is necessary.
