In the present study, the binding free energy of a family of huprines with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is calculated by means
of the free energy perturbation method, based on hybrid quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics potentials. Binding
free energy calculations and the analysis of the geometrical parameters highlight the importance of the stereochemistry of
huprines in AChE inhibition. Binding isotope effects are calculated to unravel the interactions between ligands and the gorge
of AChE. New chemical insights are provided to explain and rationalize the experimental results. A good correlation with
the experimental data is found for a family of inhibitors with moderate differences in the enzyme affinity. The analysis of the
geometrical parameters and interaction energy per residue reveals that Asp72, Glu199, and His440 contribute significantly to
the network of interactions between active site residues, which stabilize the inhibitors in the gorge. It seems that a cooperative effect of the residues of the gorge determines the affinity of the enzyme for these inhibitors, where Asp72, Glu199, and
His440 make a prominent contribution. [-]
