Two sets of carbamates based on the natural alkaloid evodiamine were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors. Although a set of carbamates of 3-hydroxyevodiamine (10a-f) is inactive both at AChE and BChE, carbamates of 5-deoxo-3-hydroxyevodiamine (11a-f) exhibit much
