Abstract
Recently, multi-targeted drugs have attracted much attention in cancer therapy where several therapeutic proteins are targeted by a single agent. Using the published scientific literature, we selected sixteen well-known anticancer targets and seven potential phytobioactive chemicals to find a multitargeted compound by screening through molecular docking. The feasible protein-ligand interaction was further predicted by protein-ligand interaction analysis and molecular dynamic simulation. The phytochemical yohimbine exhibited the lowest docking score in the range of -8.3 to -10.0 kcal/mol over other ligands with all the studied protein targets. Molecular interaction data also revealed the feasible binding of yohimbine with all targets. Moreover, the molecular simulation data also confirmed the stability of protein-ligand complexes with three most scored targets viz. ERK2, PARP1 and PIK3α. Based on our results, yohimbine seems to be the most potent compound out of those selected compounds and can be considered as effective lead molecule against the studied target proteins.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of function and eventual death of neurons in the brain. Multiple studies have highlighted the involvement of mitochondria in the initiation and advancement of neurodegenerative diseases. Mitochondria are essential for ATP generation, bioenergetics processes, the regulation of calcium homeostasis and free radical scavenging. Disrupting any of these processes has been acknowledged as a major contributor to the pathogenesis of common neurodegenerative diseases, especially AD. Several longitudinal studies have demonstrated type 2 diabetes (T2D) as a risk factor for the origin of dementia leading towards AD. Even though emerging research indicates that anti-diabetic intervention is a promising option for AD prevention and therapy, results from clinical trials with anti-diabetic agents have not been effective in AD. Interestingly, defective mitochondrial function has also been reported to contribute towards the onset of metabolic disorders including obesity and T2D. The most prevalent consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction include the generation of inflammatory molecules and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which promote the onset and development of metabolic impairment and neurodegenerative diseases. Current evidence indicates an association of impaired peripheral mitochondrial function with primary AD pathology; however, the mechanisms are still unknown. Therefore, in this review, we discuss if mitochondrial dysfunction-mediated metabolic disorders have a potential connection with AD development, then would addressing peripheral mitochondrial dysfunction have better therapeutic outcomes in preventing metabolic disorder-associated AD pathologies.

Abstract
The free radicals produced by cigarette smoking are responsible for tissue damage, heart and lung diseases, and carcinogenesis. The effect of tobacco on the central nervous system (CNS) has received increased attention nowadays in research. Therefore, to explore the molecular interaction of cigarette smoke carcinogens (CSC) 4-(methylnitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL), 4-(methylnitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), and N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) with well-known targets of CNS-related disorders, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzymes, a cascade of the computational study was conducted including molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). The investigated results of NNAL+AChEcomplex, NNK+AChEcomplex, and NNK+BuChEcomplex based on intermolecular energies (∆G) were found to -8.57 kcal/mol, -8.21 kcal/mol, and -8.08 kcal/mol, respectively. MDS deviation and fluctuation plots of the NNAL and NNK interaction with AChE and BuChE have shown significant results. Further, Molecular Mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) results shown the best total binding energy (Binding∆G) -87.381 (+/-13.119) kJ/mol during NNK interaction with AChE. Our study suggests that CSC is well capable of altering the normal biomolecular mechanism of CNS; thus, obtained data could be useful to design extensive wet laboratory experimentation to know the effects of CSC on human CNS.

Inflammopharmacology 2022; 30:1871-1890. [PMID: 35922737 PMCID: PMC9499917 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-022-01023-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Tauopathy is a group of neurodegenerative diseases in which the pathogenesis processes are related to tau protein. The imbalances between the activities of kinases and phosphatases of tau protein lead to tau hyperphosphorylation and subsequent neurodegeneration. Numerous studies suggest a strong linkage between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, finding a drug with a dual therapeutic activity against T2D and neuroprotective will be a promising idea. Hence, the potential neuroprotective effect of Glimepiride (GPD) against tauopathy was evaluated in the current study. METHODS P301S mice model was employed for tauopathy and C57BL/6 wild type mice (WT) was used as control. Phosphorylated and acetylated tau protein levels was assessed in cortex and hippocampus by western blot. Effect of GPD on tauopathy related enzymes, neuroinflammation, apoptotic markers were evaluated. Furthermore, the neuroprotective effects against anxiety like behavior and motor impairment was analyzed using Parallel rod floor and Open field tests. RESULTS GPD significantly ameliorates motor impairment, anxiety like behavior and neurodegeneration in P301S mice. Phosphorylated tau and acetylated tau were significantly decreased in both cortex and hippocampus of P301S mice via decreasing GSK3β, increasing ratio of phosphorylated-AKT to total-AKT, increasing PP2A and normalization of CDK5 levels. Furthermore, GPD treatment also decreased neuroinflammation and apoptosis by reducing NF-kB, TNF-α and caspase 3 levels. CONCLUSION The current data suggests that GPD exerts a protective effect against tauopathy, behavioural consequences, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and apoptosis. GPD is therefore a promising agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases associated with tauopathy.

Abstract
β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1) research has historically focused on its actions as the β-secretase responsible for the production of β-amyloid beta, observed in Alzheimer's disease. Although the greatest expression of BACE1 is found in the brain, BACE1 mRNA and protein is also found in many cell types including pancreatic β-cells, adipocytes, hepatocytes, and vascular cells. Pathologically elevated BACE1 expression in these cells has been implicated in the development of metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. In this review, we examine key questions surrounding the BACE1 literature, including how is BACE1 regulated and how dysregulation may occur in disease, and understand how BACE1 regulates metabolism via cleavage of a myriad of substrates. The phenotype of the BACE1 knockout mice models, including reduced weight gain, increased energy expenditure, and enhanced leptin signaling, proposes a physiological role of BACE1 in regulating energy metabolism and homeostasis. Taken together with the weight loss observed with BACE1 inhibitors in clinical trials, these data highlight a novel role for BACE1 in regulation of metabolic physiology. Finally, this review aims to examine the possibility that BACE1 inhibitors could provide a innovative treatment for obesity and its comorbidities.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder that affects 50 million people. Despite this, only two classes of medication have been approved by the FDA. Therefore, we have planned to develop therapeutics by multitarget approach. We have explored the library of 2029 natural product-like compounds for their multi-targeting potential against AD by inhibiting AChE, BChE (cholinergic pathway) MAO-A, and MOA-B (oxidative stress pathway) through in silico high-throughput screening and molecular dynamics simulation. Based on the binding energy of these target enzymes, approximately 189 compounds exhibited a score of less than −10 kcal/mol against all targets. However, none of the control inhibitors exhibited a binding affinity of less than −10 kcal/mol. Among these, the top 10 hits of compounds against all four targets were selected for ADME-T analysis. As a result, only F0850-4777 exhibited an acceptable range of physicochemical properties, drug-likeness, pharmacokinetics, and suitability for BBB permeation with high GI-A and non-toxic effects. The molecular dynamics study confirmed that F0850-4777 remained inside the binding cavity of targets in a stable conformation throughout the simulation and Prime-MM/GBSA study revealed that van der Waals’ energy (ΔGvdW) and non-polar solvation or lipophilic energy (ΔGSol_Lipo) contribute favorably towards the formation of a stable protein–ligand complex. Thus, F0850-4777 could be a potential candidate against multiple targets of two pathophysiological pathways of AD and opens the doors for further confirmation through in vitro and in vivo systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the burgeoning worldwide aging population, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its associated disorders is continuously rising. To appraise other relevant drug targets that could lead to potent enzyme targeting, 13 previously predicted ligands (shown favorable binding with AChE (acetylcholinesterase) and GSK-3 (glycogen synthase kinase) were screened for targeting 3 different enzymes, namely butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) to possibly meet the unmet medical need of better AD treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study utilized in silico screening of 13 ligands against BChE, MAO-A and MAOB using PyRx-Python prescription 0.8. The visualization of the active interaction of studied compounds with targeted proteins was performed by Discovery Studio 2020 (BIOVIA). RESULTS The computational screening of studied ligands revealed the docking energies in the range of -2.4 to -11.3 kcal/mol for all the studied enzymes. Among the 13 ligands, 8 ligands (55E, 6Z2, 6Z5, BRW, F1B, GVP, IQ6, and X37) showed the binding energies of ≤ -8.0 kcal/mol towards BChE, MAO-A and MAO-B. The ligand 6Z5 was found to be the most potent inhibitor of BChE and MAO-B, with a binding energy of -9.7 and -10.4 kcal mol, respectively. Molecular dynamics simulation of BChE-6Z5 and MAO-B-6Z5 complex confirmed the formation of a stable complex. CONCLUSION Our computational screening, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed that the above-mentioned enzymes targeted ligands might expedite the future design of potent anti-AD drugs generated on this chemical scaffold.

Abstract
Contemporary literature documents extensive research on common causative mechanisms, pathogenic pathways and dual effective remedies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Tolbutamide (TBM), chlorpropamide (CPM), and glyburide (GLY) are three sulfonylurea antidiabetic drugs of different generations. All these drugs were found to exhibit moderate to strong inhibitory efficiency on the neurotransmitter degrading enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with GLY (IC50 = 0.74 ± 0.02 μM) being the most potent, followed by CPM (IC50 = 5.72 ± 0.24 μM) and TBM (IC50 = 28.9 ± 1.60 μM). Notably, the inhibition efficiency of GLY is even comparable with the FDA approved AD drug, donepezil (DON). The larger size of GLY spans almost the full gorge of AChE ranging from catalytic active site (CAS) to the peripheral active site (PAS) with relatively strong binding affinity (6.0 × 105 M-1) and acts as a competitive inhibitor for AChE. On the other hand, while they show relatively weak binding ((2-6) × 104 M-1), both CPM and TBM act as noncompetitive binders. While these two drugs can bind to PAS, MD simulation results predict an alternative noncompetitive inhibition mechanism for CPM. These results open the possibility of repurposing the antidiabetic drugs, particularly GLY, in the treatment of AD. The consequential side effect of excess acetylcholine production, due to the administration of these drugs to AD-unaffected patients, can be rectified by using colloidal gold and silver nanofluids as potential AChE activity boosters.

Abstract
Ranunculus muricatus L. is a spiny fruit buttercup that is used in various traditional medicinal systems. In the current investigation of R. muricatus, the new chalcone 4-benzyloxylonchocarpin (1), the new anthraquinone muracatanes A (2), the new-to-nature anthraquinone muracatanes B (3), and the new naphthalene analog muracatanes C (4) were isolated, in addition to the three previously reported compounds, 4-methoxylonchocarpin (5), β-sitosterol (6), and β-sitosterol β-D-glucopyranoside (7). Their structures were elucidated using 1D (1H and 13C) and 2D (COSY, HSQC, and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy and HR-ESI-MS. Chalcone 1 showed potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitory effects with Ki of 5.39 µM and Ki′ of 3.54 µM, but none of the isolated compounds showed inhibitory activity towards butyrylcholinesterase. Anthraquinone 3 illustrated α-glucosidase inhibitory effects with IC50-values of 164.46 ± 83.04 µM. Compound 5 displayed moderate cytotoxic activity towards ovarian carcinoma (A2780, IC50 = 25.4 µM), colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT29, IC50 = 20.2 µM), breast cancer (MCF7, IC50 = 23.7 µM), and thyroid carcinoma (SW1736, IC50 = 26.2 µM) while it was inactive towards pharynx carcinoma (FaDu: IC50 > 30 µM).

Abstract
Background:
The inhibition of cholinesterase enzymes is one of the promising strategies to manage
several neurological disorders that include Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Material and Methods:
In the current article, we estimated the potential inhibition of acetyl cholinesterase
(AChE) by phenserine using slightly modified Ellman assay. To find out the binding interactions of phenserine
with the catalytic site of AChE, a molecular docking study was also performed.
Results:
Phenserine was found to inhibit Electrophorus electricus AChE in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50
value of 0.013 µM. The kinetic analyses indicate that phenserine inhibits AChE in a mixed type manner (competitive
and uncompetitive) with Ki values of 0.39 μmole/l and 0.21 µmole/l, respectively. On the other hand, Km
and Vmax values were found to be 0.17 µM and 0.39 µM, respectively. The molecular docking studies indicate
efficient binding of phenserine through 6 hydrogen bonds, 4 pi-alkyl interactions, and 1 pi-pi interaction within
the AChE catalytic pocket.
Conclusion:
Results of our computational and kinetics studies indicated a mixed type inhibition by phenserine at
AChE catalytic site.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder continues to be an area of investigation by the international researchers' fraternity. Despite all the ongoing efforts, the effective set of promising cholinesterase inhibitors available in the market for patients' use is limited. Furthermore, the currently available drugs could provide only a palliative type of treatment instead of providing a complete cure or foolproof prevention. Hence, design/discovery of fresh drug molecules as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors still remains an urgent requirement. The drug discovery platform, MCULE in the "structure-based virtual screening" (SBVS) mode was used for high throughput ligand screening of over five million structures targeted against the AChE catalytic site. A stepwise query was made for the SBVS input. The number of hits was narrowed down in consecutive succession via varied filtration criteria as AutoDock-Vina rankings, MCULE toxicity filtration, exclusion of ligands having less than four H-bond acceptors, filtration by ΔG cutoff, rule-of-five violation and SWISS ADME profiling. This was followed by holistic analysis of all the results, thereby leading to one promising ligand. The screened out drug molecule, MCULE-5872671137-0-1 exhibited a robust interaction with the AChE catalytic site involving 20 amino acid residues, an acceptable binding free energy of -10.2 kcal/mol in addition to a favorable SWISS ADME-profie showing no harmful effects on the human body. It can be carefully stated that the molecule, MCULE-5872671137-0-1, which is chemically (3S)-N-{4-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfanyl]phenyl}-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxamide could function as a significant "seed" ligand for future design of potent AChE inhibitors and/or novel neuro drugs built upon the seed-scaffold.

Molecular and enzoinformatics perspectives of targeting Polo-like kinase 1 in cancer therapy. Semin Cancer Biol 2019; 56:47-55. [PMID: 29122685 DOI: 10.1016/j.semcancer.2017.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2017] [Revised: 10/22/2017] [Accepted: 11/04/2017] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Cancer is a disease that has been the focus of scientific research and discovery and continues to remain so. Polo-like kinases (PLKs) are basically serine/threonine kinase enzymes that control cell cycle from yeast to humans. PLK-1 stands for 'Polo-like kinase-1'. It is the most investigated protein among PLKs. It is crucial for intracellular processes, hence a 'hot' anticancer drug-target. Accelerating innovations in Enzoinformatics and associated molecular visualization tools have made it possible to literally perform a 'molecular level walk' traversing through and observing the minutest contours of the active site of relevant enzymes. PLK-1 as a protein consists of a kinase domain at the protein N-terminal and a Polo Box Domain (PBD) at the C-terminal connected by a short inter-domain linking region. PBD has two Polo-Boxes. PBD of PLK-1 gives the impression of "a small clamp sandwiched between two clips", where the two Polo Boxes are the 'clips' and the 'phosphopeptide' is the small 'clamp'. Broadly, two major sites of PLK-1 can be potential targets: one is the adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP)-binding site in the kinase domain and the other is PBD (more preferred due to specificity). Targeting PLK-1 RNA and the interaction of PLK-1 with a key binding partner can also be approached. However, the list of potent small molecule inhibitors targeting the PBD site of PLK-1 is still not long enough and needs due input from the scientific community. Recently, eminent scientists have proposed targeting the 'Y'-shaped pocket of PLK-1-PBD and encouraged design of ligands that should be able to concurrently bind to two or more modules of the 'Y' pocket. Hence, it is suggested that during molecular interaction analyses, particular focus should be kept on the moiety in each ligand/drug candidate which directly interacts with the amino acid residue(s) that belong(s) to one of the three binding modules which together create this Y-shaped cavity. This obviously includes (but it is not limited to) the 'shallow cleft'-forming residues i.e. Trp414, H538 and K540, as significance of these binding residues has been consistently highlighted by many studies. The present article attempts to give a concise yet critically updated overview of targeting PLK-1 for cancer therapy.

Pathophysiological Mechanisms Linking Type 2 Diabetes and Dementia: Review of Evidence from Clinical, Translational and Epidemiological Research. Curr Diabetes Rev 2019; 15:456-470. [PMID: 30648514 DOI: 10.2174/1573399815666190129155654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2018] [Revised: 11/26/2018] [Accepted: 01/08/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes represents an increasing health burden world-wide and its prevalence in particularly higher in elderly population. Consistent epidemiological evidence suggests an increased risk of dementia associated to type 2 diabetes; the mechanisms underlying these associations, however, remain unclear. OBJECTIVE The study aims to review epidemiological, clinical and pre-clinical data that weigh on pathophysiological links, mechanisms of disease and associations between type 2 diabetes and dementia to identify areas of opportunity for future research. METHODS We searched the following electronic bibliographic databases: PUBMED, EMBASE, SCIELO, MEDLINE and OVID for clinical, translational and epidemiological research literature that summarize diabetes-related risk factors for dementia, metabolic and neurological changes associated to T2D, evidence of therapeutic approaches in type 2 diabetes and its pathophysiological implications for dementia. RESULTS Type 2 diabetes mellitus increases risk for all-cause dementia, vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The most evaluated mechanisms linking both disorders in pre-clinical studies include an increase in neuronal insulin resistance, impaired insulin signaling, pro-inflammatory state, mitochondrial dysfunction and vascular damage which increase deposition of β-amyloid, tau proteins and GSK3β, leading to an earlier onset of dementia in individuals with impairment in the glucose metabolism. Neuroimaging and neuropathology evidence linking cerebrovascular lesions, neurodegeneration and particularly small-vessel disease in the onset of dementia is consistent with the increased risk of incident dementia in type 2 diabetes, but consistent evidence of AD-related pathology is scarce. Epidemiological data shows increased risk of dementia related to hypoglycemic episodes, glycemic control, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and genetic predisposition, but the evidence is not consistent and statistical analysis might be affected by inconsistent covariate controlling. Therapeutic approaches for T2D have shown inconsistent result in relation to dementia prevention and delay of cognitive decline; lifestyle intervention, particularly physical activity, is a promising alternative to ameliorate the impact of disability and frailty on T2D-related dementia. CONCLUSION Vascular disease, inflammation and impaired brain insulin signaling might occur in T2D and contribute to dementia risk. Evidence from epidemiological studies has not consistently reported associations that could integrate a unified mechanism of disease in humans. Evaluation of the effect of antidiabetic medications and non-pharmacological interventions in dementia prevention in type 2 diabetes is promising but has thus far offered inconsistent results.

Abstract
Over recent years, utilization of green synthesized nanomaterials has been widely growing on human body because of its special properties. With the increasing acceptance of nanoparticle approach for various clinical treatments, the biosafety and toxicological effects on the vital organs such as central nervous system, have received more concern. Main focus of this study was to evaluate acute exposure of n-butanol fraction of Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druce hydroethanolic extract (BuPC) and green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles of BuPC (ZnOPC) on spatial cognition behavior, and to assess underlying mechanism by estimation of enzymatic antioxidative status along with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in mice brain. Strongest in vitro antioxidant and AChE inhibitory activity exhibiting fraction, BuPC, was examined for inhibition kinetic study by Lineweaver-Burk and Dixon plots. BuPC was further used for fabrication ZnOPC and characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X ray (EDX), and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis. Old male swiss albino mice were randomly divided into seven groups and treated for 21 days. Subsequently spatial memory was determined by two behavioral models [Elevated plus maze (EPM) and Hebbs William maze (HWM)] and supernatant of brain homogenate was analyzed for enzymatic antioxidant level and AChE inhibitory activity. Zinc content of blood plasma and brain was estimated. Results showed prolonged transfer latency (TL) and time taken to reach reward chamber (TRC) by scopolamine was not ameliorated by the ZnOPC group, whereas BuPC group showed significant reduction in scopolamine induced increase in TL and TRC compared to control and scopolamine treated groups. ZnOPC alleviated enzymatic antioxidant activity and AChE as compared to donepezil and BuPC treated groups. Study concludes that ZnOPC attenuated spatial learning and memory by increase in oxidative stress and decrease in AChE activity at both dose levels. Our results suggest that BuPC exhibited a strong neuroprotective effect on cognitive deficit mice and it may be employed as a strong substance for the treatment of dementia whereas the green synthesized ZnOPC was not proficient to reverse the memory impairment induced by scopolamine.

Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the two disorders which are known to share pertinent pathological and therapeutic links. Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) and Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are established inhibition targets for T2DM and AD treatments, respectively. Reports suggest that anti-diabetic drugs could be used for AD treatment also. The present study used molecular docking by Autodock4.2 using our "Click-By-Click"-protocol, Ligplot1.4.3 and "change in accessible surface area (ΔASA)-calculations" to investigate the binding of two investigational anti-diabetic drugs, Ertugliflozin and Sotagliflozin to an established target (SGLT2) and a research target (human brain AChE). Sotagliflozin appeared more promising for SGLT2 as well as AChE-inhibition with reference to ΔG and Ki values in comparison to Ertugliflozin. The ΔG and Ki values for "Sotagliflozin:AChE-binding" were -7.16 kcal/mol and 5.6 μM, respectively while the same were found to be -8.47 kcal/mol and 0.62 μM, respectively for its interaction with SGLT2. Furthermore, "Sotagliflozin:SGLT2-interaction" was subjected to (un)binding simulation analyses by "Molecular-Motion-Algorithms." This information is significant as the exact binding mode, interacting amino acid residues and simulation results for the said interaction have not been described yet. Also no X-ray crystal is available for the same. Finally, the results described herein indicate that Sotagliflozin could have an edge over Ertugliflozin for treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Future design of drugs based on Sotagliflozin scaffolds for treatment of Type 2 and/or Type 3 diabetes are highly recommended. As these drugs are still in late phases of clinical trials, the results described herein appear timely. J. Cell. Biochem. 118: 3855-3865, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide aggregation and cholinergic neurodegeneration are involved in the development of cognitive impairment. Therefore, in this article, we examined rosuvastatin (RSV), an oral hypolipidemic drug, to determine its potential as a dual inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Aβ peptide aggregation for the treatment of cognitive impairment. Molecular docking study was done to examine the affinity of RSV with Aβ1-42 and AChE in silico. We also employed neurobehavioral activity tests, biochemical estimation, and histopathology to study the anti-Aβ1-42 aggregation capability of RSV in vivo. Molecular docking study provided evidence that RSV has the best binding conformer at its receptor site or active site of an enzyme. The cognitive impairment in female Wistar rats was induced by high-salt and cholesterol diet (HSCD) ad libitum for 8 weeks. RSV ameliorated serum cholesterol level, AChE activity, and Aβ1-42 peptide aggregations in HSCD induced cognitive impairment. In addition, RSV-treated rats showed greater scores in the open field (locomotor activity) test. Moreover, the histopathological studies in the hippocampus and cortex of rat brain also supported that RSV markedly reduced the cognitive impairment and preserved the normal histoarchitectural pattern of the hippocampus and cortex. Taken together, these data indicate that RSV may act as a dual inhibitor of AChE and Aβ1-42 peptide aggregation, therefore suggesting a therapeutic strategy for cognitive impairment treatment.

Abstract
1-(4-Methylsulfonyl)-2-thione-4-aryl-5-Z-6-methyl and oxyalkyl-imidazoles were synthesized from different tetrahydropyrimidinethiones and aryl sulfonyl chloride. These compunds were tested for metal chelating effects and to determine the phrase in which inhibition occured between two physiologically pertinent compunds and carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes I and II (hCA I and II), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). AChE was detected in high concentrations in the brain and red blood cells. BChE is another enzymes that is abundant available in the liver and released into the blood in a soluble form. Newly synthesized hetaryl sulfonamides exhibited impressive inhibition profiles with Ki values in the range of 1.42-6.58 nM against hCA I, 1.72-7.41 nM against hCA II, 0.20-1.14 nM against AChE and 1.55-5.92 nM against BChE. Moreover, acetazolamide showed Ki values of 43.69 ± 6.44 nM against hCA I and 31.67 ± 8.39 nM against hCA II. Additionally, tacrine showed Ki values of 25.75 ± 3.39 nM and 37.82 ± 2.08 against AChE and BChE, respectively.
