Abstract
Aim: A new series of 1,2,3-triazole-hydrazone derivatives were developed to evaluate their anti-Alzheimer's activity. Materials & methods: All compounds were screened toward cholinesterases via the modified Ellman's method. The toxicity assay on SH-SY5Y cells was performed using the MTT assay, and the expression levels of GSK-3α, GSK-3β, DYRK1 and CDK5 were assessed in the presence of compounds 6m and 6p. Results: 6m and 6p; acting as mixed-type inhibitors, exhibited promising acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, respectively. 6m demonstrated no toxicity under tested concentrations on the SH-SY5Y cells and positively impacted neurodegenerative pathways. Notably, 6m displayed a significant downregulation in mRNA levels of GSK-3α, GSK-3β and CDK5. Conclusion: The target compounds could be considered in developing anti-Alzheimer's disease agents.

Novel Benzotriazole-β-lactam Derivatives as Antimalarial Agents: Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking Studies. Chem Biodivers 2024; 21:e202301745.

Abstract
Many people around the world suffer from malaria, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. While malaria medications have shown success in treating malaria, there is still a problem with resistance to these drugs. Herein, we designed and synthesized some structurally novel benzotriazole-β-lactams using 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)acetic acid as a key intermediate. To synthesize the target molecules, the ketene-imine cycloaddition reaction was employed. First, The reaction of 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole with 2-bromoacetic acid in aqueous sodium hydroxide yielded 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)acetic acid. Then, the treatment of 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)acetic acid with tosyl chloride, triethyl amine, and Schiff base provided new β-lactams in good to moderate yields.The formation of all cycloadducts was confirmed by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR and mass spectral data. Moreover, X-ray crystallography was used to determine the relative stereochemistry of 4a compound. The in vitro antimalarial activity test was conducted for each compound against P. falciparum K1. The IC50 values ranged from 5.56 to 25.65 μM. A cytotoxicity profile of the compounds at 200 μM final concentration revealed suitable selectivity of the compounds for malaria treatment. Furthermore, the docking study was carried out for each compound into the P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase enzyme (PfDHFR) binding site to analyze their possible binding orientation in the active site.
