In search of suitable therapy for the management Alzheimer's disease, this study was designed to evaluate metal complexes against its biochemical targets. Zinc carboxylates (AAZ1–AAZ6) were evaluated acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). The antioxidant in combination with anticholinesterase activity can be considered as an important target disease. Therefore, these compounds also screened ABTS DPPH free radical scavenging activity. AChE inhibition assay, we noticed...
