Abstract: We have derived a comprehensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) picture for a new series of natural acetylcholinesterase inhibitors isolated from Sarcococca saligna. A set of 32 previously isolated and tested pregnane-type steroidal alkaloids inhibitors were investigated with respect to their IC(50) values (pIC(50)) against the AChE enzyme in order to derive CoMFA models using atom-based alignment. A highly significant CoMFA model was obtained with r(2) value of 0.974. The q(2) (cross validation r(2)) value also confirms the statistical significance of our model.
