Abstract
In the search for new small molecules for the therapy of neuropathic pain, we found that 2-{3-[N-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)propyl]amino}-6-[N-methyl-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)amino]-4-phenylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (12) induced a robust antiallodynic effect in capsaicin-induced mechanical allodynia, a behavioural model of central sensitization, through σ1R antagonism. Furthermore, administration of compound 12 to neuropathic animals, fully reversed mechanical allodynia, increasing its mechanical threshold to levels that were not significantly different from those found in paclitaxel-vehicle treated mice or from basal levels before neuropathy was induced. Ligand 12 is thus a promising hit-compound for the therapy of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
The multifactorial nature of Alzheimer's disease necessitates the development of agents able to interfere with different relevant targets. A series of 22 tailored chromanones was conceptualized, synthesized, and subjected to biological evaluation. We identified one representative bearing a linker-connected azepane moiety (compound 19) with balanced pharmacological properties. Compound 19 exhibited inhibitory activities against human acetyl-, butyrylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase-B, as well as high affinity to both the σ1 and σ2 receptors. Our study provides a framework for the development of further chromanone-based multineurotarget agents.

Madhav H, Jameel E, Rehan M, Hoda N. Recent advancements in chromone as a privileged scaffold towards the development of small molecules for neurodegenerative therapeutics. RSC Med Chem 2022; 13:258-279.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders, i.e., Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, involve progressive degeneration of the central nervous system, resulting in memory loss and cognitive impairment. The intensification of neurodegenerative research in recent years put some molecules into clinical trials, but still there is an urgent need to develop effective therapeutic molecules to combat these diseases. Chromone is a well-identified privileged structure for the design of well-diversified therapeutic molecules of potential pharmacological interest, particularly in the field of neurodegeneration. In this short review, we focused on the recent advancements and developments of chromones for neurodegenerative therapeutics. Different small molecules were reviewed as multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs) with potential inhibition of AChE, BuChE, MAO-A, MAO-B, Aβ plaque formation and aggregation. Recently developed MTDLs emphasized that the chromone scaffold has the potential to develop new molecules for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
