Abstract
In the present study, ten new substituted 3-hydroxypyridine-4-one derivatives were synthesized in a four-step method, and their chemical structures were confirmed using various spectroscopic techniques. Subsequently, the inhibitory activities of these derivatives against tyrosinase enzyme and their antioxidant activities were evaluated. Amongest the synthesized compounds, 6b bearing a 4-OH-3-OCH3 substitution was found to be a promising tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC50 value of 25.82 μM, which is comparable to the activity of kojic acid as control drug. Kinetic study indicated that compound 6b is a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase enzyme, which was confirmed by molecular docking results. The molecular docking study and MD simulation showed that compound 6b was properly placed within the tyrosinase binding pocket and interacted with key residues, which is consistent with its biological activity. The DFT analysis demonstrated that compound 6b is kinetically more stable than the other compounds. In addition, compounds 6a and 6b exhibited the best antioxidant activities. The findings indicate that compound 6b could be a promising lead for further studies.

Abstract
Based on the multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) strategy, a series of chromone-hydroxypyridinone hybrids were designed, synthesised, and evaluated as potential multimodal anti-AD ligands. Prospective iron-chelating effects and favourable monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitory activities were observed for most of the compounds. Pharmacological assays led to the identification of compound 17d, which exhibited favourable iron-chelating potential (pFe3+ = 18.52) and selective hMAO-B inhibitory activity (IC50 = 67.02 ± 4.3 nM, SI = 11). Docking simulation showed that 17d occupied both the substrate and the entrance cavity of MAO-B, and established several key interactions with the pocket residues. Moreover, 17d was determined to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and can significantly ameliorate scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment in AD mice. Despite its undesired pharmacokinetic property, 17d remains a promising multifaceted agent that is worth further investigation.

Abstract
A novel series of phthalimide-hydroxypyridinone derivatives were rationally designed and evaluated as potential anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) agents. Bioactivity tests showed that all compounds displayed great iron ions-chelating activity (pFe3+ = 17.07-19.52), in addition to potent inhibition of human monoamine oxidase B (hMAO-B). Compound 11n emerged as the most effective anti-AD lead compound with a pFe3+ value of 18.51, along with selective hMAO-B inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.79 ± 0.05 μM, SI > 25.3). The results of cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that 11n showed extremely weak toxicity in PC12 cell line at 50 μM. Additionally, compound 11n displayed a cytoprotective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative damage. Moreover, compound 11n exhibited ideal blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in the parallel artificial membrane permeation assay (PAMPA), and significantly improved scopolamine-induced cognitive and memory impairment in mice behavioral experiments. In conclusion, these favorable experimental results suggested compound 11n deserved further investigation as an anti-AD lead compound.

Abstract
Genetics, age, environmental factors, and oxidative stress have all been implicated in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD); however, a complete understanding of its pathology remains elusive. At present, there is no cure for PD, and currently available therapeutics are insufficient to meet patient needs. Ferroptosis, a distinctive iron-dependent cell death mode characterized by lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, has pathophysiological features similar to those of PD, including iron accumulation, reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Ferroptosis has been identified as a specific pathway of neuronal death and is closely related to the pathogenesis of PD. Despite the similarities in the biological targets involved in PD pathogenesis and ferroptosis, the relationship between novel targets in PD and ferroptosis has been neglected in the literature. In this review, the mechanism of ferroptosis is discussed, and the potential therapeutic targets implicated in both PD and ferroptosis are compared. Furthermore, the anti-PD effects of several ferroptosis inhibitors, as well as clinical studies thereof, and the identification of novel lead compounds for the treatment of PD and the inhibition of ferroptosis are reviewed. It is hoped that this review can promote research to further elucidate the relationship between ferroptosis and PD and provide new strategies for the development of novel ferroptosis-targeting PD therapy.

Abstract
A series of N-propargylamine-hydroxamic acid/o-aminobenzamide hybrids inhibitors combining the typical pharmacophores of hydroxamic acid/o-aminobenzamide and propargylamine were designed and synthesized as HDAC1/MAO-B dual inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Most of the hybrids displayed moderate to good MAO-B inhibitory activities. Among them, Hybrid If exhibited the most potent activity against MAO-B and HDAC1 (MAO-B, IC50 = 99.0 nM; HDAC1, IC50 = 21.4 nM) and excellent MAO selectively (MAO-A, IC50 = 9923.0 nM; SI = 100.2). Moreover, compound If significantly reversed Aβ1-42-induced PC12 cell damage and decreased the production of intracellular ROS, exhibiting favorable antioxidant activity. More importantly, hybrid If instantly penetrated the BBB and accumulated in brain tissue as well as markedly ameliorated cognitive dysfunction in a Morris water maze ICR mice model. In summary, HDAC1/MAO-B dual inhibitor If is a promising potential agent for the therapy of Alzheimer's disease.
