Single-crystal X-ray crystallography was utilized for crystal structure determination of one of the compounds. In vitro study of compounds revealed that most of the compounds are capable of inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase activity.

Formation of synthesized compounds (P1P9) was justified via H NMR, C NMR, mass spectra and single crystal X-Ray diffraction study. All compounds were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, inhibition of self-mediated Aβ aggregation and Cu(II)-mediated Aβ aggregation.

Organic syntheses relying upon convergent synthetic routes were employed. Investigations ThT fluorescence assay, electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed the synthesized derivatives to exhibit Aβ self-aggregation inhibition.
