A small library of new organophosphorylated warfarins and 3-benzylcoumarins were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro cholinesterase inhibition by Ellman's method. Most of the compounds were found to be selective for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) over acetylcholinesterase (AChE), with IC50 values ranging from 0.363 mu M to 53.0 mu M determined after 15 s of enzyme exposure. Comparison of the most potent compound, 3b with its constitutional isomer 2b revealed the high importance of phosphate positioning. Reversed selectivity and a 100-fold reduction in anti-BChE activity was observed when the organophosphate was attached to the benzyl instead of the coumarin. Docking calculations suggest that 3b binds initially as a transition state mimic with nearoptimal phosphate orientation relative to S198 and occupation of the oxyanion hole prior to phosphorylation. These results might inspire the design of a new type of non-neuropathic and irreversible coumarin-based inhibitor against BChE.

At elevated temperatures, the 3-(meta-substituted aryloxymethyl) coumarins 3a-e and 3g-k undergo sigmatropic rearrangements to give the hydroxylated 3-benzylcoumarins 4a-e and 4g-k. Upon methylation and subsequent oxidation with N-bromo succinimide, the 3-(chlorosubstituted benzyl) coumarins 4a, 4m and 4n afford 3-(chlorosubstituted benzoyl) coumarins 8a, 8m, and 8n.
