This study is an attempt to use molecular orbital (MO) calculations as an aid in correlating chemical structure with the ability of the material to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor. Several different carbamates and organophosphates were examined in this fashion. The interpretation of the results illustrates the utility of MO theory in correlation studies. In addition, it suggests a new way of looking at the action of certain inhibitors of cholinesterase.
