Abstract
![]()
By replacing a phenolic
ring of (E)-resveratrol
with an 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one heterocycle, new
resveratrol-based multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) were obtained.
They were evaluated in several assays related to oxidative stress
and inflammation (monoamine oxidases, nuclear erythroid 2-related
factor, quinone reductase-2, and oxygen radical trapping) and then
in experiments of increasing complexity (neurogenic properties and
neuroprotection vs okadaic acid). 5-[(E)-2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-3-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one (4e) showed a well-balanced MTDL profile:
cellular activation of the NRF2-ARE pathway (CD = 9.83 μM),
selective inhibition of both hMAO-B and QR2 (IC50s = 8.05
and 0.57 μM), and the best ability to promote hippocampal neurogenesis.
It showed a good drug-like profile (positive in vitro central nervous
system permeability, good physiological solubility, no glutathione
conjugation, and lack of PAINS or Lipinski alerts) and exerted neuroprotective
and antioxidant actions in both acute and chronic Alzheimer models
using hippocampal tissues. Thus, 4e is an interesting
MTDL that could stimulate defensive and regenerative pathways and
block early events in neurodegenerative cascades.

Abstract
Introduction: Dementia is the 7th leading cause of death that imposes a significant financial and service burden on the global population. Presently, only symptomatic care exists for cognitive loss, such as Alzheimer's disease.Areas covered: Given the advancing age of the global population, it becomes imperative to develop innovative therapeutic strategies for cognitive loss. New studies provide insight to the association of cognitive loss with metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus.Expert opinion: Diabetes mellitus is increasing in incidence throughout the world and affects 350 million individuals. Treatment strategies identifying novel pathways that oversee metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders offer exciting prospects to treat dementia. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and circadian clock gene pathways that include AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK), Wnt1 inducible signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP1), erythropoietin (EPO), and silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) (SIRT1) provide novel strategies to treat cognitive loss that has its basis in metabolic cellular dysfunction. However, these pathways are complex and require precise regulation to maximize treatment efficacy and minimize any potential clinical disability. Further investigations hold great promise to treat both the onset and progression of cognitive loss that is associated with metabolic disease.
