Popis: | The first step in the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by organophosphorus anticholinesterases is formation of the organophosphorous molecule-AChE complex. In the first paper of this series it was shown that the first step can be modeled well by the use of three-dimensional electrostatic molecular potential contour maps around the P compound. The second phosphorylation step of the mechanism by which organophosphorous anticholinesterases of the general formula inhibit AChE is related to the acidity of X and to the bond strength of the P—X bond. For a series of compounds, aryl N-methyl methyl phosphoramidates, in which the P—X bond is constant, this paper shows that the quantum chemically calculated P-O total overlap populations (TOPs) correlate the experimental log I50 for inhibition of AChE over four orders of magnitude with correlation coefficients of 0.96 [r2: TOP 0.9581; (TOP)1/2 0.9614]. |
