Abstract
Aβ1-42 and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are two key therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this study is to develop a dual-target inhibitor that inhibits both of these targets by fusing the chemical structure of baicalein and donepezil. Among them, we modified the structure of baicalein to arylcoumarin, synthesized three kinds of structural compounds, and evaluated their biological activities. The results showed that compound 3b had the strongest inhibitory effect on AChE (IC50 = 0.05 ± 0.02 µM), which was better than those of donepezil and baicalein. In addition, compound 3b has a strong ability to inhibit the aggregation of Aβ1-42 and protect nerve cells, and it can also penetrate the blood-brain barrier well. Using a zebrafish behavioral analyzer test, it was found that compound 3b can alleviate the behavioral effects of AlCl3-induced zebrafish larval movement retardation, which has a certain guiding significance for simulating the movement disorders of AD patients. In summary, compound 3b is expected to become a multifunctional agent for treating and alleviating the symptoms of AD patients.

Abstract
We report the implementation of coordination complexes containing two types of cationic moieties, i. e. pyridinium and ammonium quaternary salt, as potential inhibitors of human cholinesterase enzymes. Utilization of ligands containing NNO-coordination site and binding zinc metal ion allowed mono- and tetra-nuclear complexes to be obtained with corner and grid structural type, respectively, thus affecting the overall charge of the compounds (from +1 to +8). We were able to examine for the first time the multivalency effect of metallosupramolecular species on their inhibitory abilities towards acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Importantly, resolution of the crystal structures of the obtained enzyme-substrate complexes provided a better understanding of the inhibition process at the molecular level.

Front Chem 2022; 10:936240. [PMID: 36226120 PMCID: PMC9549744 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.936240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an advanced and irreversible degenerative disease of the brain, recognized as the key reason for dementia among elderly people. The disease is related to the reduced level of acetylcholine (ACh) in the brain that interferes with memory, learning, emotional, and behavior responses. Deficits in cholinergic neurotransmission are responsible for the creation and progression of numerous neurochemical and neurological illnesses such as AD. Aim: Herein, focusing on the fact that benzylpyridinium salts mimic the structure of donepezil hydrochlorideas a FDA-approved drug in the treatment of AD, their synthetic approaches and inhibitory activity against cholinesterases (ChEs) were discussed. Also, molecular docking results and structure-activity relationship (SAR) as the most significant concept in drug design and development were considered to introduce potential lead compounds. Key scientific concepts: AChE plays a chief role in the end of nerve impulse transmission at the cholinergic synapses. In this respect, the inhibition of AChE has been recognized as a key factor in the treatment of AD, Parkinson's disease, senile dementia, myasthenia gravis, and ataxia. A few drugs such as donepezil hydrochloride are prescribed for the improvement of cognitive dysfunction and memory loss caused by AD. Donepezil hydrochloride is a piperidine-containing compound, identified as a well-known member of the second generation of AChE inhibitors. It was established to treat AD when it was assumed that the disease is associated with a central cholinergic loss in the early 1980s. In this review, synthesis and anti-ChE activity of a library of benzylpyridinium salts were reported and discussed based on SAR studies looking for the most potent substituents and moieties, which are responsible for inducing the desired activity even more potent than donepezil. It was found that linking heterocyclic moieties to the benzylpyridinium salts leads to the potent ChE inhibitors. In this respect, this review focused on the recent reports on benzylpyridinium salts and addressed the structural features and SARs to get an in-depth understanding of the potential of this biologically improved scaffold in the drug discovery of AD.

Abstract
Chalcone [(E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-one], a small molecule with α, β unsaturated carbonyl group is a precursor or component of many natural flavonoids and isoflavonoids. It is one of the privileged structures in medicinal chemistry. It possesses a wide range of biological activities encouraging many medicinal chemists to study this scaffold for its usefulness to oncology, infectious diseases, virology and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Small molecular size, convenient and cost-effective synthesis, and flexibility for modifications to modulate lipophilicity suitable for blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability make chalcones a preferred candidate for their therapeutic and diagnostic potential in AD. This review summarizes and highlights the importance of chalcone and its analogs as single target small therapeutic agents, multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs) as well as molecular imaging agents for AD. The information summarized here will guide many medicinal chemist and researchers involved in drug discovery to consider chalcone as a potential scaffold for the development of anti-AD agents including theranostics.

Abstract
Background:
Acetylcholine deficiency in the hippocampus and cortex, aggregation of
amyloid-beta, and beta-secretase overactivity have been introduced as the main reasons in the
formation of Alzheimer’s disease.
Objective:
A new series of cinnamic derived acids linked to 1-benzyl-1,2,3-triazole moiety were
designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and
butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitory activities.
Methods:
Colorimetric Ellman’s method was used for the determination of IC50% of AchE and
BuChE inhibitory activity. The kinetic studies, neuroprotective activity, BACE1 inhibitory activity,
evaluation of inhibitory potency on Aβ1-42 self-aggregation induced by AchE, and docking study
were performed for studying the mechanism of action.
Results:
Some of the synthesized compounds, compound 7b-4 ((E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-((1-
(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl) methyl) acrylamide) depicted the most potent
acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities ( IC50 = 5.27 μM ) and compound 7a-1 (N- ( (1- benzyl-
1H- 1, 2, 3- triazole - 4-yl) methyl) cinnamamide) demonstrated the most potent
butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activities (IC50 = 1.75 μM). Compound 7b-4 showed
neuroprotective and β-secretase (BACE1) inhibitory activitiy. In vivo studies of compound 7b-4 in
Scopolamine-induced dysfunction confirmed memory improvement.
Conculusion:
It should be noted that molecular modeling (compounds 7b-4 and 7a-1) and kinetic
studies (compounds 7a-1 and 7b-4) showed that these synthesis compounds interacted
simultaneously with both the catalytic site (CS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of AChE and
BuChE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives 6a-n were synthesized via simple two-step reactions and evaluated for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. METHODS Pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives 6a-n derivatives were prepared from a two-step reaction: cycloaddition reaction between 1-naphthyl amine 1 and malonic acid 2 to obtain benzo[h]quinoline-2(1H)-one 3 and reaction of 3 with aryl aldehydes 4 and Meldrum's acid 5. The anti- α-glucosidase activity and kinetic study of the synthesized compounds were evaluated using α-glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and p-nitrophenyl-a-D-glucopyranoside as substrate. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of acarbose was evaluated as positive control. RESULTS All of the synthesized compounds, except compounds 6i and 6n, showed more inhibitory activity than the standard drug acarbose and were also found to be non-cytotoxic. Among the synthesized compounds, 1-(2-bromophenyl)-1H-benzo[h]pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-3,12(2H,11H)-dione 6e displayed the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 63.7 ± 0.5 µM). Kinetic study of enzyme inhibition indicated that the most potent compound, 6e, is a non-competitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase with a Ki value of 72 µM. Additionally, based on the Lipinski rule of 5, the synthesized compounds were found to be potential orally active drugs. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the synthesized compounds are promising candidates for treating type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
A novel series of cinnamic acid-tryptamine hybrids was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as cholinesterase inhibitors. Anticholinesterase assays showed that all of the synthesized compounds displayed a clearly selective inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), but only a moderate inhibitory effect toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was detected. Among these cinnamic acid-tryptamine hybrids, compound 7d was found to be the most potent inhibitor of BChE with an IC50 value of 0.55 ± 0.04 μM. This compound showed a 14-fold higher inhibitory potency than the standard drug donepezil (IC50 = 7.79 ± 0.81 μM) and inhibited BChE through a mixed-type inhibition mode. Moreover, a docking study revealed that compound 7d binds to both the catalytic anionic site (CAS) and the peripheral anionic site (PAS) of BChE. Also, compound 7d was evaluated against β-secretase, which exhibited low activity (inhibition percentage: 38%).

Abstract
Background:
A new series of 1,2,3-triazol-nitrostyrene derivatives was designed,
synthesized, and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against Hep-2 and L929 cell lines.
</P><P>
Methods: The synthetic procedure started from the functionalization of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde
with propargyl bromide and a subsequent click reaction to give 1,2,3-triazole derivatives. Then, the
reaction of the mentioned derivatives with nitromethane led to the formation of the title compounds
in excellent yields.
Results:
Most of the compounds exhibited better cytotoxic activity with respect to the standard drug
5-fluorouracil. Among them, (E)-1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4-((4-(2-nitrovinyl)phenoxy)methyl)-1H-
1,2,3-triazole 6i (IC50 = 4.66 ± 1.3 µM) against the Hep-2 cell line and (E)-1-(2,3-dichlorobenzoyl)-
4-((4-(2-nitrovinyl)phenoxy)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole 6g (IC50 = 5.18 ± 0.8 µM) against the L929
cell line exhibited the best cytotoxic effects.
Conclusion:
Moreover, the acridine orange/ethidium bromide double staining technique showed
that the most potent compounds 6i and 6g could induce apoptosis in studied cancer cell lines.

Abstract
A novel series of ciprofloxacin-dithiocarbamate hybrids 7a - 7l were designed, synthesized, and evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. A significant part of the title compounds showed considerable antibacterial activity against Gram-positive species. The most potent compound against Gram-positive bacteria was 2-chloro derivative 7h and the most potent derivative against Gram-negative bacteria was 3-chloro compound 7i. In vitro antibacterial evaluation of compound 7h against clinically isolated bacteria methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) showed that this compound acted better than ciprofloxacin against the latter bacteria. Docking study of compound 7h in the active site of S. aureus DNA gyrase revealed that this ciprofloxacin-dithiocarbamate derivative interacted with the main components of the active site of the enzyme.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitors have become interesting target for treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A series of dual binding site BuChE inhibitors were designed and synthesized based on 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole attached benzyl pyridine moieties. In-vitro assay revealed that all of the designed compounds were selective and potent BuChE inhibitors. The most potent BuChE inhibitor was compound 6i (IC50 = 0.088 ± 0.0009 μM) with the mixed-type inhibition. Docking study revealed that 6i is a dual binding site BuChE inhibitor. Also, Pharmacokinetic properties for 6i were accurate to Lipinski's rule. In addition, compound 6i demonstrated neuroprotective and β-secretase (BACE1) inhibition activities. This compound could also inhibit AChE-induced and self-induced Aβ peptide aggregation at concentration of 100 μM and 10 μM respectively. Generally, the results are presented as new potent selective BuChE inhibitors with a therapeutic potential for the treatment of AD.

Abstract
Aim: A series of 2-benzylidene-benzofuran-3-ones were designed from the structures of Ebselen analogs and aurone derivatives and synthesized in good yields. Materials & methods: The target compounds were prepared by the condensation reaction between appropriate benzofuranones with amino alkoxy aldehydes and evaluated as cholinesterase inhibitors by Ellman’s method. Results: The in vitro anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE)/butyrylcholinesterase activities of the synthesized compounds revealed that 7e (IC50 = 0.045 μM) is the most active compound against AChE. Furthermore, the docking study confirmed the results obtained through in vitro experiments and predicted the possible binding conformation. Conclusion: The anticholinesterase activities of benzylidene-benzofurane-3-ones as aurone analogs revealed that the compounds bearing piperidinylethoxy residue showed better activities against AChE, introducing these compounds for further drug discovery developments.
