Abstract
The current study involves the synthesis of Schiff bases based on 1,2,4-triazoles skeleton and assessing their α-amylase and α-glucosidase profile. Furthermore, the precise structures of the synthesized derivatives were elucidated using various spectroscopic methods such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HREI-MS. Using glimepiride as the reference standard, the in vitro α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in order to determine their potential anti-diabetic properties. All analogues showed varied range of inhibitory activity having IC50 values ranging from 17.09 ± 0.72 to 45.34 ± 0.03 μM (α-amylase) and 16.35 ± 0.42 to 42.31 ± 0.09 μM (α-glucosidase), respectively. Specifically, the compounds 1, 7 and 8 were found to be significantly active with IC50 values of 17.09 ± 0.72, 19.73 ± 0.42, and 23.01 ± 0.04 μM (against α-amylase) and 16.35 ± 0.42, 18.55 ± 0.26, and 20.07 ± 0.02 μM (against α-glucosidase) respectively. The obtained results were compared with the Glimepiride reference drug having IC50 values of 13.02 ± 0.11 μM (for α-glucosidase) and 15.04 ± 0.02 μM (for α-amylase), respectively. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies were conducted based on differences in substituent patterns at varying position of aryl rings A and B may cause to alter the inhibitory activities of both α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. Additionally, the molecular docking study was carried out to explore the binding interactions possessed by most active analogues with the active sites of targeted α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes.

Abstract
This study reports a rapid and efficient synthesis of four novel aryl Schiff base derivatives. Biological activity and molecular modeling studies were conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effects of these compounds on human carbonic anhydrases (hCA) and cholinesterases. The results indicate that the triazole-ring-containing compounds have strong inhibitory effects on hCA I, hCA II, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) targets. Besides comparing the Schiff bases synthesized in our study to reference molecules, we conducted in silico investigations to examine how these compounds interact with their targets. Our studies revealed that these compounds can occupy binding sites and establish interactions with crucial residues, thus inhibiting the functions of the targets. These findings have significant implications as they can be utilized to develop more potent compounds for treating the diseases that these target proteins play crucial roles in or to obtain drug precursors with enhanced efficacy.

Abstract
A series of twenty-seven bis(acylhydrazones) were successfully synthesized with high yields through a multistep process, which entailed the esterification of hydroxyl groups, hydrazination with an excess of hydrazine hydrate, and subsequent reactions with various carbonyl moieties (aldehydes). In the final stage of synthesis, different chemical species including aromatic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic compounds were integrated into the framework. The resulting compounds were characterized using several spectroscopic techniques (1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry). Their anticholinesterase activities were assessed in vitro by examining their interactions with two cholinesterase enzymes: acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Among the synthesized hits, compounds 3, 5, 6, 9-12, and 14 exhibited good to moderate inhibition of AChE. Specifically, 10 (IC50 = 26.3 ± 0.4 μM) and 11 (IC50 = 28.4 ± 0.5 μM) showed good inhibitory activity against AChE, while 9, 12, 3, and 6 exhibited significant inhibition potential against AChE with IC50 values ranging from 35.2 ± 1.1 μM to 64.4 ± 0.3 μM. On the other hand, 5 (IC50 = 22.0 ± 1.1 μM) and 27 (IC50 = 31.3 ± 1.3 μM) displayed significant, and 19 (IC50 = 92.6 ± 0.4 μM) showed moderate inhibitory potential for BChE. Notably, 5 and 27 exhibited dual inhibition of AChE and BChE, with greater potency than the standard drug galantamine. The binding patterns of these molecules within the binding cavities of AChE and BChE were anticipated by molecular docking which showed good correlation with our in vitro findings. Further structural optimization of these molecules may yield more potent AChE and BChE inhibitors.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) leads to gradual memory loss including other compromised cognitive abilities. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an important biochemical enzyme from the cholinesterase (ChE) family, is recognized as primary pharmacological target for treating AD. Currently marketed drugs for AD treatment are primarily AChE inhibitors and coumarin derivatives comprising a wide variety of pharmacological activities have proved their efficacy towards AChE inhibition. Ensaculin (KA-672 HCl), a compound that belong to the coumarin family, is a clinical trial candidate for AD treatment. Therefore, a ligand library was prepared with 60 reported coumarin derivatives for field-based 3D-QSAR and pharmacophore modelling. The field-based 3D-QSAR model obtained at partial least square (PLS) factor 7, was the best validated model that predicted activity closer to original activity for each ligand introduced. The contour maps demonstrated spatial distribution of favourable and unfavorable steric, hydrophobic, electrostatic and H-bond donor and acceptor contours around coumarin nucleus. The best pharmacophore model, ADHRR_1 exhibited five essential pharmacophoric features of four different traits for optimum AChE inhibition. Virtual screening through ADHRR_1 accompanied with molecular docking and MM/GBSA identified 10 HITs from a 4,00,000 coumarin derivatives from PubChem database. HITs comprised docking scores ranging from -12.096 kcal/mol to -8.271 kcal/mol and compared with the reference drug Donepezil (-8.271 kcal/mol). ADME properties analysis led into detecting two leads (HIT 1 and HIT 2) among these 10 HITs. Molecular Dynamics Simulation indicated thermodynamic stability of the complex of lead compounds with AChE protein. Finally, thorough survey of the experimental results from 3D-QSAR modelling, pharmacophore modelling and molecular docking interactions led us to develop the lead formula I for future advancements in treating AD through AChE inhibitors.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by memory and cognitive impairments that predominantly affects the elderly and is the most common cause of dementia. As is known, the AChE enzyme consists of two parts. In this work, 10 new hydrazones (3a-3j) were designed and synthesized. Naphthalene, indole, benzofuran and benzothiophene rings were used to interact with the PAS region. 4-fluorophenyl and 4-fluorobenzyl structures were preferred for interaction with the CAS region. In biological activity studies, the AChE and BChE inhibitory potentials of all compounds were evaluated using the in vitro Ellman method. The biological evaluation showed that compounds 3i and 3j displayed significant activity against AChE. The compounds 3i and 3j displayed IC50 values of 0.034 and 0.027 µM against AChE, respectively. The reference drug donepezil (IC50 = 0.021 µM) also displayed a significant inhibition against AChE. In addition, the antioxidant activities of the compounds were also evaluated. Derivatives 3i and 3j, which emerged active from both in vitro activity studies, were subjected to in vitro PAMPA tests to determine BBB permeability. Further docking simulation also revealed that these compounds (3i, 3j and donepezil) interacted with the enzyme active site in a similar manner to donepezil. A few parameters derived from MD simulation trajectories were computed and validated for the protein-ligand complex's stability under the dynamic conditions.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
We have synthesized benzo[d]oxazole derivatives (1-21) through a multistep reaction. Alteration in the structure of derivatives was brought in the last step via using various substituted aromatic aldehydes. In search of an anti-Alzheimer agent, all derivatives were evaluated against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase enzyme under positive control of standard drug donepezil (IC50 = 0.016 ± 0.12 and 4.5 ± 0.11 µM) respectively. In case of acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibition, derivatives 8, 9 and 18 (IC50 = 0.50 ± 0.01, 0.90 ± 0.05 and 0.3 ± 0.05 µM) showed very promising inhibitory potentials. While in case of butyrylcholinesterase enzyme inhibition, most of the derivatives like 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 18 and 19 (IC50 = 2.70 ± 0.10, 2.60 ± 0.10, 2.20 ± 0.10, 4.25 ± 0.10, 3.30 ± 0.10, 0.96 ± 0.05 and 3.20 ± 0.10 µM) displayed better inhibitory potential than donepezil. Moreover, derivative 18 is the most potent one among the series in both inhibitions. The binding interaction of derivatives with the active gorge of the enzyme was confirmed via a docking study. Furthermore, the binding interaction between derivatives and the active site of enzymes was correlated through the SAR study. Structures of all derivatives were confirmed through spectroscopic techniques such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HREI-MS, respectively.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Two undescribed butenolide derivatives, asperteretal J (1) and K (2), together with 13 known ones (3-15) were isolated from an endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus SGP-1, the fermentation product of which exhibited selective inhibitory activity toward butyrylcholinesterase. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated based on HRMS and NMR data, and the absolute configurations were determined by specific optical rotation comparison. All compounds were evaluated for cholinesterase inhibitory effects with galantamine as a positive control. Compounds 4-8 selectively inhibited butyrylcholinesterase with IC50 values of 18.4-45.8 µM in a competitive manner, with Ki values of 12.3-38.2 µM. The structure-activity relationship was discussed. Molecular docking and dynamic simulation of the inhibitor-enzyme complex were performed to better understand the interactions.

Abstract
Inspired by the crucial roles of (hetero)aryl rings in cholinesterase inhibitors and the pyrrole ring in new drug discovery, we synthesized 19 pyrrole derivatives and investigated their cholinesterase inhibitory activity. As a result, compounds 3o, 3p, and 3s with a 1,3-diaryl-pyrrole skeleton showed high selectivity toward BChE over AChE with a best IC50 value of 1.71 ± 0.087 µM, which were comparable to donepezil. The pharmaceutical potential of these structures was further predicted and compounds 3o and 3p were proved to meet well with the Lipinsky's five rules. In combination of the inhibition kinetic studies with the results of molecular docking, we concluded that compound 3p inhibited BChE in a mixed competitive mode. This research has proved the potential of the 1,3-diaryl-pyrrole skeleton as a kind of selective BChE inhibitor.

J Mol Recognit 2022; 35:e2982. [PMID: 35842829 DOI: 10.1002/jmr.2982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
In this research, a series of N-phenylsulfonamide derivatives (1-12) were designed, synthesized and investigated for their inhibitory potencies against carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I, II and IX (hCA I, hCA II, and hCA IX) and cholinesterases (ChE), namely, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). These compounds, whose inhibition potentials were evaluated for the first time, were characterized by spectroscopic techniques (1 H- and 13 C NMR and FT-IR). CA isoenzyme inhibitors are significant therapeutic targets, especially owing to their preventive/activation potential in the therapy processes of some diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis, and glaucoma. On the other hand, Cholinesterase inhibitors are valuable molecules with biological importance that can be employed in the therapy process of Alzheimer's patients. The results showed that the tested molecules had enzyme inhibition activities ranging from 9.7 to 93.7 nM against these five metabolic enzymes. Among the tested molecules, the methoxy and the hydroxyl group-containing compounds 10, 11, and 12 exhibited more enzyme inhibition activities when compared to standard compounds acetazolamide (AAZ), sulfapyridine, and sulfadiazine for CA isoenzymes and neostigmine for ChE, respectively. Of these three molecules, compound 12, which had a hydroxyl group in the para position in the aromatic ring, was determined to be the most active molecule against all enzymes. In silico work, molecular docking has also shown similar results and consistent with the experimental data in the study. As a result, we can say that some of the tested molecules might be used as promising inhibitor candidates for further studies on this topic.

Abstract
In this study, a series of novel Schiff base derivatives containing a pyrazolone ring (2a-e) were designed, successfully synthesized for the first time, and characterized by elemental analysis and some spectroscopic methods. These compounds were tested for their inhibitory activities on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and the human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and II). All synthesized molecules indicated significant inhibition effects with IC50 values ranging from 14.15 to 107.62 nM against these enzymes. Compound 2d showed the most potent inhibitory activity among the tested molecules toward AChE and BChE (IC50 = 15.07 and 14.15 nM) compared to the standard drug neostigmine. We determined that the IC50 values of the tested molecules ranged between 16.86 and 57.96 nM for hCA I and 15.24-46.21 nM for hCA II. As a consequence, we may say that some of the Schiff base derivatives may be used as potential drug candidates in later studies.

Abstract
Despite the advancements in the development of anticancer agents, more effective and safer anticancer drugs still need to be developed as the current agents cause unwanted side effects and many patients have become drug resistant. 1,2,3-Triazoles, due to their remarkable biological potential, have received considerable attention in drug discovery for the development of anticancer agents. The present review article presents an overview of the recent advances in 1,2,3-triazole hybrids with anticancer potential over the last 2 years, their chemical structures, structure-activity relationships, and mechanisms of action, as well as insights into the docking studies.

Abstract
In this study, synthesis of nine N-phenylsulfonamide derivatives was designed by starting from aniline, which is the simplest aromatic amine. These compounds were obtained in yields between 69 and 95%. Inhibitory properties of synthesized compounds on carbonic anhydrase I (CA I), CA II isoenzymes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes were investigated. Inhibitors of CA isoenzymes are important therapeutic targets, particularly due to their preventive/activation potential in the treatment of diseases such as edema, glaucoma, cancer and osteoporosis. Cholinesterase inhibitors are valuable compounds that can be used in many different therapeutic applications, including Alzheimer's disease. The compound 8 for CA I, AChE and BChE, 2 for CA II showed a very active inhibition profile (KI 45.7 ± 0.46 for CA I, 33.5 ± 0.38 nM for CA II, 31.5 ± 0.33 nM for AChE and 24.4 ± 0.29 nM for BChE). The results indicate that these N-phenyl-sulfonamide derivatives are potent CA and cholinesterases and new potential drugs.
