Table 3 Molecular Docking scores and interaction profiles of 12 synthesized thiophene–isoquinoline derivatives and their precursor compound, 1a (a thiophene-based half ester), were evaluated against acetylcholinesterase (AChE; PDB ID: 6ARY). Results were compared with the reference insecticide Chlorpyrifos and the redocked co-crystallized ligand BT7.
