Abstract
Since Alzheimer disease is one of the most prevalent types of dementia with a high mortality and disability rate, so development of multi-target drugs becomes the major strategy for battling AD. This study shows the development of a series of quinazolinone based derivatives as novel, multifunctional anti-AD drugs that exhibit both cholinesterase inhibitoryand anti-inflammatory properties. The preliminary results of the in vitro AChE inhibition activity showed that compounds 4b, 5a, 6f, 6h and 7b were better represented for further evaluation. Furthermore, in-vivo AChE inhibition activity and behavior Morris water maze test against donepezil as reference drug were evaluated. Additionally, hippocampal inflammatory markers; TNF-α, NFĸB, IL-1β and IL-6 and antioxidant markers; SOD and MDA were assessed to evaluate the efficacy of quinazolinone derivatives against AD hallmarks. The results showed that 6f, 6h and 7b have promising anti-acetylcholinesterase, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities thus, have a significant effect in treatment of AD. Moreover, Histopathological examination revealed that 6f, 6h and 7b derivatives have neuroprotective effect against neuronal damage caused by induced scopolamine model in mice. Finally, the binding ability of the synthesized derivatives to the target, AChE was investigated through molecular docking which reflected significant interactions to the target based on their docking binding scores. Hence, the newly designed quinazolinone derivatives possess promising anti-acetylcholinesterase activity and challenging for the management of AD in the future.

Design and synthesis of novel 4-fluorobenzamide-based derivatives as promising anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents with an enhanced gastric tolerability and COX-inhibitory activity. Bioorg Chem 2021; 115:105253. [PMID: 34390973 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Responding to the great demand of developing potent NSAIDs with an enhanced safety profile and reasonable selectivity, in the present study novel 4-fluorobenzamide derivatives were synthesized and screened for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities using carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method and acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing in mice, respectively. All the new target compounds except the carbamothioylhydrazine series (5a-d), and the 4-fluorophenyl thiadiazolo derivative 6b showed promising anti-inflammatory activity ranged between 53.43 and 92.36% inhibition of edema (at 3 h) compared to the reference standard indomethacin (65.64%). All the newly synthesized compounds showed potent analgesic activity ranged between 71 and 100 % writhing protection compared to indomethacin (74.06%). Moreover, the most active compounds; the ester hybrids 2a,b, the thioureido quinazolinones 4b,c, and the thiadiazole congener 6a, showed promising gastric tolerability with ulcer index ranged between 0 and 6.60 compared to indomethacin (12.13). The thioureido quinazolinone derivatives 4b,c showed the most potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities with a remarkable gastric tolerability compared to the other derivatives. The 4-chlorophenyl derivative 4b is considered the most promising analogue showing 92.36% inhibition of edema, 100% writhing protection in analgesia testing, and a COX-2 selectivity index of 5.75 which was better than that of indomethacin and celecoxib standards (selectivity index = 0.27 and 4.55; respectively). Moreover, it showed an ulcer index equals zero with gastric acidity and mucin levels comparable to that of the control group indicating its minor effect on gastric cell physiology and its high tolerability. Molecular docking studies predicted the binding pattern of the newly synthesized compounds in COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes confirming the ability of the most active candidates to satisfy the structural features required for binding and rationalized their selectivity based on their docking binding patterns and scores. Furthermore, the newly synthesized 4-fluorobenzamide derivatives possess promising predicted pharmacokinetic properties indicated by calculating their key physicochemical parameters and absorption percentages.

Abstract
Various 1,2,4 trisubstituted imidazolin-5-one derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) and carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes aiming to explore potential dual inhibitors. Results revealed that compounds 3c, 3g, 3h, 4a, 6c and 6d were the most effective derivatives against p38αMAPK (IC50 = 0.14, 0.14, 0.056, 0.14, 0.13 and 0.14 μM, respectively) compared to sorafenib (IC50 = 1.58 μM) as standard drug. On the other hand, compound 4a revealed the best inhibitory activity against all the tested carbonic anhydrase isoforms CA I, II, IV and IX with Ki values of 95.0, 0.83, 6.90 and 12.4 nM, respectively compared to acetazolamide with Ki values 250, 12.1, 74 and 12.8 nM, respectively. Therefore, compound 4a can be considered as a potent dual p38αMAPK/CA inhibitor.
