Abstract
CONTEXT Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B), an enzyme of significant relevance in the realm of neurodegenerative disorders, has garnered considerable attention as a potential target for therapeutic intervention. Natural compounds known as chalcones have shown potential as MAO-B inhibitors. In this particular study, we employed a multimodal computational method to evaluate the inhibitory effects of chalcones on MAO-B. METHODS Molecular docking methods were used to study and assess the complicated binding interactions that occur between chalcones and MAO-B. This extensive analysis provided a valuable and deep understanding of possible binding methods as well as the key residues implicated in the inhibition process. Furthermore, the ADME investigation gave valuable insights into the pharmacokinetic properties of chalcones. This allowed them to be assessed in terms of drug-like attributes. The use of MD simulations has benefited in the research of ligand-protein interactions' dynamic behaviour and temporal stability. MM-PBSA calculations were also done to estimate the binding free energies and acquire a better knowledge and understanding of the binding affinity between chalcones and MAO-B. Our thorough method gives a thorough knowledge of chalcones' potential as MAO-B inhibitors, which will be useful for future experimental validation and drug development efforts in the context of neurodegenerative illnesses.

Abstract
The incorporation of heterocyclic moieties into the standard chemical structure with a biologically active scaffold has become of crucial practice for the construction of pharmacologically potent candidates in the drug arena. Currently, numerous kinds of chalcones and their derivatives have been synthesized using the incorporation of heterocyclic scaffolds, especially chalcones bearing heterocyclic moieties that display improved efficiency and potential for drug production in pharmaceutical sectors. The current Review focuses on recent advances in the synthetic approaches and pharmacological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antitubercular, antioxidant, antimalarial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antigiardial, and antifilarial activities of chalcone derivatives incorporating N-heterocyclic moieties at either the A-ring or B-ring.

Introduction of benzyloxy pharmacophore into aryl/heteroaryl chalcone motifs as a new class of monoamine oxidase B inhibitors. Sci Rep 2022; 12:22404. [PMID: 36575270 PMCID: PMC9794710 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-26929-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The inhibitory action of fifteen benzyloxy ortho/para-substituted chalcones (B1-B15) was evaluated against human monoamine oxidases (hMAOs). All the molecules inhibited hMAO-B isoform more potently than hMAO-A. Furthermore, the majority of the molecules showed strong inhibitory actions against hMAO-B at 10 μM level with residual activities of less than 50%. Compound B10 has an IC50 value of 0.067 μM, making it the most potent inhibitor of hMAO-B, trailed by compound B15 (IC50 = 0.12 μM). The thiophene substituent (B10) in the A-ring exhibited the strongest hMAO-B inhibition structurally, however, increased residue synthesis did not result in a rise in hMAO-B inhibition. In contrast, the benzyl group at the para position of the B-ring displayed more hMAO-B inhibition than the other positions. Compounds B10 and B15 had relatively high selectivity index (SI) values for hMAO-B (504.791 and 287.600, respectively). Ki values of B10 and B15 were 0.030 ± 0.001 and 0.033 ± 0.001 μM, respectively. The reversibility study showed that B10 and B15 were reversible inhibitors of hMAO-B. PAMPA assay manifested that the benzyloxy chalcones (B10 and B15) had a significant permeability and CNS bioavailability with Pe value higher than 4.0 × 10-6 cm/s. Both compounds were stabilized in protein-ligand complexes by the π-π stacking, which enabled them to bind to the hMAO-B enzyme's active site incredibly effectively. The hMAO-B was stabilized by B10- and B15-hMAO-B complexes, with binding energies of - 74.57 and - 87.72 kcal/mol, respectively. Using a genetic algorithm and multiple linear regression, the QSAR model was created. Based on the best 2D and 3D descriptor-based QSAR model, the following statistics were displayed: R2 = 0.9125, Q2loo = 0.8347. These findings imply that B10 and B15 are effective, selective, and reversible hMAO-B inhibitors.

Abstract
Chalcone derivatives are considered valuable species because they possess a ketoethylenic moiety, CO-CH=CH-. Due to the presence of a reactive α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group, chalcones and their derivatives possess a wide spectrum of antiproliferative, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antileishmanial, and antimalarial pharmacological properties. Recent developments in heterocyclic chemistry have led to the synthesis of chalcone derivatives, which had been biologically investigated toward certain disease targets. The major aspect of this review is to present the most recent synthesis of chalcones bearing N, O, and/or S heterocycles, revealing their biological potential during the past decade (2010-2021). Based on a review of the literature, many chalcone-heterocycle hybrids appear to exhibit promise as future drug candidates owing to their similar or superior activities compared to those of the standards. Thus, this review may prove to be beneficial for the development and design of new potent therapeutic drugs based on previously developed strategies.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects mostly elderly people above the age of 60. Previously, we have reported that the ethoxylated chalcone derivative (E)-1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-3-(fluorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (E7) showed potent, reversible, and competitive MAO-B inhibition with an IC50 value of 0.053 μm. The present study aims to investigate the anti-Parkinson activity of compound E7 in a haloperidol-induced animal model of mice. The disease was induced with haloperidol (1 mg/kg, intraperitoneal route) once daily for 21 days. E7 was given at dose levels of 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg/day for 21 days, consecutively. Behavioural tests were carried out during and at the end of the study. Biochemical analyses such as oxidative stress biomarkers and neurotransmitters were quantified on the brain homogenate at the end of the study. Behavioural results showed that there is a marked improvement in locomotor activity and motor coordination in the treatment group. Oxidative stress biomarkers such as SOD, CAT, and GSH levels were increased dose-dependently with a maximum at 30 mg/kg, whereas the dose-dependent decrease (30 mg/kg) in the MDA and nitrite levels were observed in the treatment groups. Levels of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline, were increased in the treatment groups while dopamine and noradrenaline levels were more than in the standard treated group. MAO-B level was also decreased dose dependently in the treatment group in comparison with the control group. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the E7 compound exhibited anti-Parkinson activity which was more evident at 30 mg/kg oral dose as evaluated by the haloperidol-induced animal model of mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective and reversible types of MAO-B inhibitors have emerged as promising candidates for the management of neurodegenerative diseases. Several functionalized chalcone derivatives were shown to have potential reversible MAO-B inhibitory activity, which have recently been reported from our laboratory. METHODS With the experimental results of about 70 chalcone derivatives, we further developed a pharmacophore modelling, and 2D and 3D- QSAR analyses of these reported chalcones for MAO-B inhibition. RESULTS The 2D-QSAR model presented four variables (MATS7v, GATS 1i and 3i, and C-006) from 143 Dragon 7 molecular descriptors, with a r2 value of 0.76 and a Q2cv for cross-validation equal to 0.72. An external validation also was performed using 11 chalcones, obtaining a Q2ext value of 0.74. The second 3D-QSAR model using MLR (multiple linear regression) was built starting from 128 Volsurf+ molecular descriptors, being identified as 4 variables (Molecular descriptors): D3, CW1 and LgS11, and L2LGS. Adetermination coefficient (r2) value of 0.76 and a Q2cv for cross-validation equal to 0.72 were obtained for this model. An external validation also was performed using 11 chalcones and a Q2ext value of 0.74 was found. CONCLUSION This report exhibited a good correlation and satisfactory agreement between experiment and theory.

Abstract
Eleven piperazine-containing 1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one derivatives (PC1-PC11) were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidases (MAOs), cholinesterases (ChEs), and β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE-1) with a view toward developing new treatments for neurological disorders. Compounds PC10 and PC11 remarkably inhibited MAO-B with IC50 values of 0.65 and 0.71 μM, respectively. Ten of the eleven compounds weakly inhibited AChE and BChE with > 50% of residual activities at 10 μM, although PC4 inhibited AChE by 56.6% (IC50 = 8.77 μM). Compound PC3 effectively inhibited BACE-1 (IC50 = 6.72 μM), and PC10 and PC11 moderately inhibited BACE-1 (IC50 =14.9 and 15.3 μM, respectively). Reversibility and kinetic studies showed that PC10 and PC11 were reversible and competitive inhibitors of MAO-B with Ki values of 0.63 ± 0.13 and 0.53 ± 0.068 μM, respectively. ADME predictions for lead compounds revealed that PC10 and PC11 have central nervous system (CNS) drug-likeness. Molecular docking simulations showed that fluorine atom and trifluoromethyl group on PC10 and PC11, respectively, interacted with the substrate cavity of the MAO-B active site. Our results suggested that PC10 and PC11 can be considered potential candidates for the treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Nine compounds (MO1–MO9) containing the morpholine moiety were assessed for their inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidases (MAOs) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Most of the compounds potently inhibited MAO-B; MO1 most potently inhibited with an IC50 value of 0.030 µM, followed by MO7 (0.25 µM). MO5 most potently inhibited AChE (IC50 = 6.1 µM), followed by MO9 (IC50 = 12.01 µM) and MO7 most potently inhibited MAO-A (IC50 = 7.1 µM). MO1 was a reversible mixed-type inhibitor of MAO-B (Ki = 0.018 µM); MO5 reversibly competitively inhibited AChE (Ki = 2.52 µM); and MO9 reversibly noncompetitively inhibited AChE (Ki = 7.04 µM). MO1, MO5 and MO9 crossed the blood–brain barrier, and were non-toxic to normal VERO cells. These results show that MO1 is a selective inhibitor of MAO-B and that MO5 is a dual-acting inhibitor of AChE and MAO-B, and that both should be considered candidates for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Trimethoxylated Halogenated Chalcones as Dual Inhibitors of MAO-B and BACE-1 for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13060850. [PMID: 34201128 PMCID: PMC8226672 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13060850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Six halogenated trimethoxy chalcone derivatives (CH1-CH6) were synthesized and spectrally characterized. The compounds were further evaluated for their inhibitory potential against monoamine oxidases (MAOs) and β-secretase (BACE-1). Six compounds inhibited MAO-B more effectively than MAO-A, and the 2',3',4'-methoxy moiety in CH4-CH6 was more effective for MAO-B inhibition than the 2',4',6'-methoxy moiety in CH1-CH3. Compound CH5 most potently inhibited MAO-B, with an IC50 value of 0.46 µM, followed by CH4 (IC50 = 0.84 µM). In 2',3',4'-methoxy derivatives (CH4-CH6), the order of inhibition was -Br in CH5 > -Cl in CH4 > -F in CH6 at the para-position in ring B of chalcone. CH4 and CH5 were selective for MAO-B, with selectivity index (SI) values of 15.1 and 31.3, respectively, over MAO-A. CH4 and CH5 moderately inhibited BACE-1 with IC50 values of 13.6 and 19.8 µM, respectively. When CH4 and CH5 were assessed for their cell viability studies on the normal African Green Monkey kidney cell line (VERO) using MTT assays, it was noted that both compounds were found to be safe, and only a slightly toxic effect was observed in concentrations above 200 µg/mL. CH4 and CH5 decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels of VERO cells treated with H2O2, indicating both compounds retained protective effects on the cells by antioxidant activities. All compounds showed high blood brain barrier permeabilities analyzed by a parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA). Molecular docking and ADME prediction of the lead compounds provided more insights into the rationale behind the binding and the CNS drug likeness. From non-test mutagenicity and cardiotoxicity studies, CH4 and CH5 were non-mutagenic and non-/weak-cardiotoxic. These results suggest that CH4 and CH5 could be considered candidates for the cure of neurological dysfunctions.

Abstract
Chalcones are considered effective templates for the development of monoamine oxidase (MAO) and cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors. The present work describes the syntheses of selected 1,3-benzodioxine-containing chalcones (CD3, CD8 and CD10), and their inhibitory activities against MAO-A, MAO-B, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Compound CD8 most potently inhibited MAO-B with an IC50 value of 0.026 μM, followed by CD10 and CD3 (1.54 and 1.68 μM, respectively). CD8 potently and non-selectively inhibited MAO-A (IC50 value of 0.023 μM). On the other hand, CD10 and CD8 inhibited AChE with IC50 values of 5.40 and 9.57 μM, respectively. Kinetics and reversibility experiments showed that all synthesized molecules were competitive and reversible inhibitors, and the Ki values of CD8 for MAO-A and MAO-B were 0.018 and 0.0019 μM, respectively. By in vitro and in silico analyses, all compounds were found to have high passive human gastrointestinal absorptions, blood-brain barrier permeabilities, and non-toxicities. Molecular docking simulations revealed that docking affinity of each compound for MAO-B was higher than that for MAO-A. The results indicate that CD8 is a potent non-selective MAO inhibitor, and CD10 is an effective selective MAO-B inhibitor, and both possess AChE inhibitory activity. Therefore, we suggest that CD8 and CD10 be considered potential dual-targeting inhibitors of MAO and AChE for the treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chalcones are considered as the selective scaffold for the inhibition of MAO-B. OBJECTIVES A previously synthesized ethyl acetohydroxamate-chalcones (L1-L22) were studied for their inhibitory activities against human recombinant monoamine oxidase A and B (hMAO-A and hMAO-B, respectively) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as multi-target directed ligands for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). METHODS Enzyme inhibition studies of MAO-A, MAO-B and AChE is carried out. Computational studies such as Molecular docking, Molecular Mechanics/Generalized Born Surface Area calculations, ADMET prediction, and protein target prediction are also performed. RESULTS Among the screened compounds, compound L3 has most potent hMAO-B inhibition with an IC50 value of 0.028 ± 0.0016 µM, and other compounds, L1, L2, L4, L8, L12, and L21 showed significant potent hMAO-B inhibition with IC50 values of 0.051 ± 0.0014, 0.086 ± 0.0035, 0.036 ± 0.0011, 0.096 ± 0.0061, 0.083 ± 0.0016, and 0.038 ± 0.0021 µM, respectively. On the other hand, among the tested compounds, compound L13 showed highest hMAO-A inhibition with an IC50 value of 0.51± 0.051 µM and L9 has a significant value of 1.85 ± 0.045 µM. However, the compounds L3 and L4 only showed high selectivities for hMAO-B with Selectivity Index (SI) values of 621.4 and 416.7, respectively. Among the substituents in ring A of ethyl acetohydroxamate-chalcones (L1-L9), F atom at p-position (L3) showed highest inhibitory effect against hMAO-B. This result supports the uniqness and bizarre behavior of fluorine. Moreover, chalcones L3, L4, L9, L11, and L12 showed potential AChE inhibitory effect with IC50 values of 0.67, 0.85, 0.39, 0.30, and 0.45 µM, respectively. Inhibitions of hMAO-B by L3 or L4 were recovered to the level of the reversible reference (lazabemide), and were competitive with Ki values of 0.0030 ± 0.0002 and 0.0046 ± 0.0005 µM, respectively. Inhibitions of AChE by L3 and L11 were of the competitive and mixed types with Ki values of 0.30 ± 0.044 and 0.14 ± 0.0054 µM, respectively. CONCLUSION The studies indicated that L3 and L4 are considered to be promising multitarget drug molecules with potent, selective, and reversible competitive inhibitors of hMAO-B and with highly potent AChE inhibitory effect.

Abstract
The development of chalcone-based compounds for CNS disorders has been explored by many research groups. Chalcones are being considered as a potent organic scaffold with widespread applications in the field of drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. The planar or semi-planar geometry of chalcones with various functionalities impinged on the terminal aromatic systems renders the molecule its bio-activity including anti-cancer, anti-malarial, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, antileishmanial, anti-viral, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive properties, etc. Moreover, cutting-edge research has been executed in the domain of Central Nervous System (CNS) based scheme, further, their identification and classifications also remain of high interest in the field of medicinal chemistry but the specific reviews are limited. Hence, the present review highlights the significance of chalcones toward their CNS activities (up to 2019), which include anti-depressant activity, anxiolytic activity, activity with GABA receptors, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyryl cholinesterase (BChE) inhibitions, activity as adenosine receptor antagonists anti-Alzheimer's agents, β-amyloid plaques imaging agents, monoamine oxidase inhibition. To our knowledge, this is the first review exclusively for CNS activity profile of chalcones.

Abstract
The development of highly selective monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitors has great therapeutic benefit in treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders. Recent study documented that shifting of fluorine atom from para to ortho position on the phenyl B ring of heteroaryl chalcones shown a remarkable shift in the selectivity and potency between MAO-A and MAO-B isoforms. Despite the large plethora of the design of new selective MAO-B inhibitors, the current paper illustrates the role and orientation of fluorine atom with remarkable MAO-B selectivity of three compounds (O23, O24 and O25), which differ from all other substituents encountered in the chalcone scaffolds is recently reported by our group. Conformational analyses of differential inhibitory effects of O23, O24 and O25 on MAO-A and MAO-B, differential analyses of complementary interactions at MAO-A/-B active sites and differential analysis of affinity binding and per-residue energy contributions are calculated by molecular dynamics study. Density functional theory based electronic structure calculations were employed with special emphasis to electrostatic potential and frontier molecular orbitals. Results of the current study can be used for lead modification and a new insight for the development of novel fluorinated chalcones for the treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The general blueprint for the design of monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitors has been based on two phenyl or heteronuclei linked via a spacer of appropriate length. In this study, 1-[4-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl]-5-phenylpenta-2,4-dien-1-one (MO10) was prepared by the condensation of 4'-morpholinoacetophenone and cinnamaldehyde in basic alcoholic medium. MO10 was assessed for inhibitory activity against two human MAO isoforms, MAO-A and MAO-B. Interestingly, MO10 showed a remarkable inhibition against MAO-B with an IC50 value of 0.044 μM along with a selectivity index of 366.13. The IC50 value was better than that of lazabemide (IC50 value of 0.063 μM), which was used as a reference. Kinetics studies revealed that MO10 acted as a competitive inhibitor of MAO-B, with a Ki value of 0.0080 μM. The observation of recovery of MAO-B inhibition, compared to reference levels showed MO10 to be a reversible inhibitor. MTT assays showed that MO10 was nontoxic to normal VERO cells with an IC50 value of 195.44 μg/mL. SwissADME predicted that MO10 provided advantageous pharmacokinetics profiles for developing agents acting on the central nervous system, that is, high passive human gastrointestinal absorption and blood-brain barrier permeability. Molecular docking simulations showed that MO10 properly entered the aromatic cage formed by Y435, Y398, and FAD of the active site of MAO-B. On the basis of these results, MO10 can be considered a promising starting compound in development of agents for the treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Selective monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibition is an attractive subject for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the current study, we synthesized some selected derivatives of methylthiosemicarbazones and investigated their MAOs and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities. Among the series synthesized, compounds SM5, SM4, and SM9 most inhibited MAO-B with IC50 values of 5.48, 7.06, and 8.03 µM, respectively. All compounds tested weakly inhibited MAO-A at 10 µM with the residual activities of >50%. Compound SM5 had the highest selectivity index (SI) value for MAO-B (>7.30), followed by SM4 (>5.67). Kinetic experiments revealed that SM5 competitively inhibited MAO-B, with a mean Ki value of 2.39 ± 0.15 µM. Reversibility experiments showed that SM5 reversibly inhibited MAO-B, and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays revealed that SM5 was not toxic to Vero cells (IC50 = 198.96 µg/mL). The SM5/MAO-B interaction was ascertained by molecular docking and dynamics studies. The study shows that SM5 competitively inhibits MAO-B in a reversible, moderate selective manner, and that it is non-toxic to Vero cells.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Novel Class of Chalcone Oxime Ethers as Potent Monoamine Oxidase-B and Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25102356. [PMID: 32443652 PMCID: PMC7288026 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25102356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2020] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Previously synthesized novel chalcone oxime ethers (COEs) were evaluated for inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidases (MAOs) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Twenty-two of the 24 COEs synthesized, except COE-17 and COE-24, had potent and/or significant selective inhibitory effects on MAO-B. COE-6 potently inhibited MAO-B with an IC50 value of 0.018 µM, which was 105, 2.3, and 1.1 times more potent than clorgyline, lazabemide, and pargyline (reference drugs), respectively. COE-7, and COE-22 were also active against MAO-B, both had an IC50 value of 0.028 µM, which was 67 and 1.5 times lower than those of clorgyline and lazabemide, respectively. Most of the COEs exhibited weak inhibitory effects on MAO-A and AChE. COE-13 most potently inhibited MAO-A (IC50 = 0.88 µM) and also significantly inhibited MAO-B (IC50 = 0.13 µM), and it could be considered as a potential nonselective MAO inhibitor. COE-19 and COE-22 inhibited AChE with IC50 values of 5.35 and 4.39 µM, respectively. The selectivity index (SI) of COE-22 for MAO-B was higher than that of COE-6 (SI = 778.6 vs. 222.2), but the IC50 value (0.028 µM) was slightly lower than that of COE-6 (0.018 µM). In reversibility experiments, inhibitions of MAO-B by COE-6 and COE-22 were recovered to the levels of reference reversible inhibitors and both competitively inhibited MAO-B, with Ki values of 0.0075 and 0.010 µM, respectively. Our results show that COE-6 and COE-22 are potent, selective MAO-B inhibitors, and COE-22 is a candidate of dual-targeting molecule for MAO-B and AChE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases with increasing age is Parkinson's disease (PD). Its pathogenesis is unclear and mainly confined to glutamate toxicity and oxidative stress. The dyskinesia and motor fluctuations and neuroprotective potential are the major concerns which are still unmet in PD therapy. OBJECTIVE This article is a capsulization of the role of MAO-B in the treatment of PD, pharmacological properties, safety and efficiency, clinical evidence through random trials, future therapies and challenges. CONCLUSION MAO-B inhibitors are well tolerated for the treatment of PD because of their pharmacokinetic properties and neuroprotective action. Rasagiline and selegiline were recommended molecules for early PD and proven safe and provide a modest to significant rise in motor function, delay the use of levodopa and used in early PD. Moreover, safinamide is antiglutamatergic in action. When added to Levodopa, these molecules significantly reduce the offtime with a considerable improvement of non-motor symptoms. This review also discusses the new approaches in therapy like the use of biomarkers, neurorestorative growth factors, gene therapy, neuroimaging, neural transplantation, and nanotechnology. Clinical evidence illustrated that MAOB inhibitors are recommended as monotherapy and added on therapy to levodopa. A large study and further evidence are required in the field of future therapies to unwind the complexity of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop of new class of selective and reversible MAO-B inhibitors from enamides. METHODS Syntheses of the titled derivatives (AD1-AD11) were achieved by reacting cinnamoyl chloride and various primary and secondary amines in basic medium. All eleven compounds were investigated for in vitro inhibitory activities against recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B. The reversibilities of lead compound inhibitions were analysed by dialysis. MTT assays of lead compounds were performed using normal VERO cell lines. KEY FINDINGS Compounds AD3 and AD9 exhibited the greatest inhibitory activity against MAO-B with IC50 values of 0.11 and 0.10 µm, respectively, and were followed by AD2 and AD1 (0.51 and 0.71 µm, respectively). Most of the compounds weakly inhibited MAO-A, with the exceptions AD9 and AD7, which had IC50 values of 4.21 and 5.95 µm, respectively. AD3 had the highest selectivity index (SI) value for MAO-B (>363.6) and was followed by AD9 (SI 42.1). AD3 and AD9 were found to be competitive inhibitors of MAO-B with Ki values of 0.044 ± 0.0036 and 0.039 ± 0.0047 µm, respectively. Reversibility experiments showed AD3 and AD9 were reversible inhibitors of MAO-B; dialysis restored the activity of MAO-B to the reference level. MTT assays revealed AD3 and AD9 were non-toxic to normal VERO cell lines with IC50 values of 153.96 and 194.04 µg/ml, respectively. Computational studies provided hypothetical binding modes for AD3 and AD9 in the binding cavities of MAO-A and MAO-B. CONCLUSIONS These results encourage further studies on the enamide scaffold as potential drug candidates for the treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Abstract
The complex pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) calls for multitarget approach for disease management. Herein, a series of novel flurbiprofen-chalcone hybrid Mannich base derivatives were designed and synthesized. The biological screening results indicated that most of the derivatives exhibited potent multi-target effects involved in AD. In particular, compound 6c bearing a pyrrolidine group showed the highest activities against self- and Cu2+-induced Aβ1-42 aggregation (70.65% and 54.89% at 25.0 µM, respectively), highly selective inhibition towards AChE and MAO-B (IC50 = 7.15 μM and 0.43 μM respectively), good antioxidant ability and metal-chelating property. Moreover, 6c displayed excellent anti-neuroinflammatory activity and appropriate BBB permeability in vitro. These outstanding results qualified compound 6c as a promising multifunctional agent for further development of disease-modifying treatment of AD.

Abstract
The present study documents the synthesis of oxygenated chalcone (O1-O26) derivatives and their abilities to inhibit monoamine oxidases. All 26 derivatives examined showed potent inhibitory activity against MAO-B. Compound O23 showed the greatest inhibitory activity against MAO-B with an IC50 value of 0.0021 µM, followed by compounds O10 and O17 (IC50 = 0.0030 and 0.0034 µM, respectively). In addition, most of the derivatives potently inhibited MAO-A and O6 was the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.029 µM, followed by O3, O4, O9, and O2 (IC50 = 0.035, 0.053, 0.072, and 0.082 µM, respectively). O23 had a high selectivity index (SI) value for MAO-B of 138.1, and O20 (IC50 value for MAO-B = 0.010 µM) had an extremely high SI of >4000. In dialysis experiments, inhibitions of MAO-A and MAO-B by O6 and O23, respectively, were recovered to their respective reversible reference levels, demonstrating both are reversible inhibitors. Kinetic studies revealed that O6 and O23 competitively inhibited MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively, with respective Ki values of 0.016 ± 0.0007 and 0.00050 ± 0.00003 µM. Lead compound are also non-toxic at 200 µg/mL in normal rat spleen cells. Molecular docking simulations and subsequent Molecular Mechanics/Generalized Born Surface Area calculations provided a rationale that explained experimental data.

Abstract
No drug has been approved to prevent neuronal cell loss in patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD); despite increased comprehension of the underlying molecular causes, therapies target cognitive functional improvement and motor fluctuation control. Drug design strategies that adopt the "one protein, one target" philosophy fail to address the multifactorial aetiologies of neurodegenerative disorders such as AD and PD optimally. On the contrary, restoring neurotransmitter levels by combined combinatorial inhibition of cholinesterases, monoamine oxidases, and adenosine A2A A receptors, in conjunction with strategies to counter oxidative stress and beta-amyloid plaque accumulation, would constitute a therapeutically robust, multitarget approach. This extensive review delineates the therapeutic advantages of combining dual-acting molecules that inhibit monoamine oxidases and cholinesterases and/or adenosine A2A A receptors, and describes the structure-activity relationships of compound classes that include, but are not limited to, alkaloids, coumarins, chalcones, donepezil-propargylamine conjugates, homoisoflavonoids, resveratrol analogs, hydrazones, and pyrazolines. In the wake of recent advances in network biology, in silico approaches, and omics, this review emphasizes the need to consider conceptually informed research strategies for drug discovery, in the context of the mounting burden posed by chronic neurodegenerative diseases with complex aetiologies and pathophysiologies involving multiple signalling pathways and numerous drug targets.

Abstract
Six synthetic (1-6) and six natural (7-12) chalcones were tested for human monoamine oxidases (hMAOs) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities. Compounds 4-dimethylaminochalcone (2), 4'-chloro-4-dimethylaminochalcone (5), and 2,4'-dichloro-4-dimethylaminochalcone (1) potently inhibited hMAO-B with IC50 values of 0.029, 0.061, and 0.075 μM, respectively. 4-Nitrochalcone (4) and 4-chlorochalcone (3) also potently inhibited hMAO-B with IC50 values of 0.066 and 0.082 μM, respectively (2.3- and 2.6-fold less than compound 2). Compound 2 had a high selectivity index (113.1) for hMAO-B over hMAO-A (IC50 = 3.28 μM). Compounds 1 and 2,2'-dihydroxy-4',6'-dimethoxychalcone (12) potently inhibited hMAO-A with IC50 values of 0.18 and 0.39 μM, respectively. In addition, compounds 4 and 2 also effectively inhibited AChE with IC50 values of 1.25 and 6.07 μM, respectively, and thus, exhibited dual-targeting. Compound 2 reversibly and competitively inhibited hMAO-B with a Ki value of 0.0066 μM. Docking simulations showed binding affinities of compounds 1 to 5 for hMAO-B were higher than those for hMAO-A or AChE and suggested these five chalcones form hydrogen bonds with MAO-B at Cys172 but that they do not form hydrogen bonds with hMAO-A or AChE. These findings suggest compound 2 be considered a promising and dual-targeting lead compound for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Potent and highly selective dual-targeting monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors: Fluorinated chalcones of morpholine versus imidazole. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2019; 352:e1800309. [PMID: 30663112 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.201800309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2018] [Revised: 12/05/2018] [Accepted: 12/14/2018] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Two series of fluorinated chalcones containing morpholine and imidazole-based compounds (f1-f8) were synthesized and evaluated for recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and -B as well as acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. Our results indicate that morpholine containing chalcones are highly selective MAO-B inhibitors having reversibility properties. All the imidazole-based fluorinated chalcones showed weak MAO inhibitions in both isoforms. Among the tested compounds, (2E)-3-(3-fluorophenyl)-1-[4-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-one (f2) showed potent inhibitory activity for recombinant human MAO-B (IC50 = 0.087 μM) with a high selectivity index (SI) of 517.2. In the recovery experiments using dialysis, the residual activity of MAO-B inhibited by f2 was close to that with the reversible reference inhibitor. Inhibition assays revealed that the Ki values of f1 and f2 for MAO-B were 0.027 and 0.020 μM, respectively, with competitive patterns. All the morpholine-based compounds (f1-f4) showed moderate inhibition toward acetylcholinesterase with IC50 values ranging between 24 and 54 μM. All morpholine-containing compounds exhibit good blood-brain barrier permeation in the PAMPA method. The rational approach regarding the highly selective MAO-B inhibitor f2 was further ascertained by induced fit docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual-acting human monoamine oxidase B (hMAO-B) and cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors are more effective than the classic one-drug one-target therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS The ChE inhibitory ability of some halogenated thiophene chalcone-based molecules known to be selective hMAO-B inhibitors was evaluated. RESULTS Based on the IC50 values, the selected compounds were found to moderately inhibit ChE, with IC50 values in the range of 14-70 µM. Among the synthesised molecules, T8 and T6 showed the most potent inhibitory activity against AChE and BChE, respectively. CONCLUSION Taken together, the data revealed that T8 could be further optimized to enhance its AChE inhibitory activity.

Selected aryl thiosemicarbazones as a new class of multi-targeted monoamine oxidase inhibitors. MEDCHEMCOMM 2018; 9:1871-1881. [PMID: 30568755 PMCID: PMC6254048 DOI: 10.1039/c8md00399h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2018] [Accepted: 09/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
A series of 13 phenyl substituted thiosemicarbazones (SB1-SB13) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory potential towards human recombinant monoamine oxidase A and B (MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively) and acetylcholinesterase. The solid state structure of SB4 was ascertained by the single X-ray diffraction technique. Compounds SB5 and SB11 were potent for MAO-A (IC50 1.82 ± 0.14) and MAO-B (IC50 0.27 ± 0.015 μM), respectively. Furthermore, SB11 showed a high selectivity index (SI > 37.0) for MAO-B. The effects of fluorine orientation revealed that SB11 (m-fluorine) showed 28.2 times higher inhibitory activity than SB12 (o-fluorine) against MAO-B. Furthermore, inhibitions by SB5 and SB11 against MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively, were recovered to near reference levels in reversibility experiments. Both SB5 and SB11 showed competitive inhibition modes, with K i values of 0.97 ± 0.042 and 0.12 ± 0.006 μM, respectively. These results indicate that SB5 and SB11 are selective, reversible and competitive inhibitors of MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively. Compounds SB5, SB7 and SB11 showed moderate inhibition against acetylcholinesterase with IC50 values of 35.35 ± 0.47, 15.61 ± 0.057 and 26.61 ± 0.338 μM, respectively. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeation was studied using the parallel artificial membrane permeation assay (PAMPA) method. Molecular docking studies were carried out using AutoDock 4.2.
