Abstract
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) have been crucial in the search for anti-neurodegenerative medications and continued to be a vital source of molecular and mechanistic diversity. Therefore, the search for selective MAOIs is one of the main areas of current drug development. To increase the effectiveness and safety of treating Parkinson's disease, new scaffolds for reversible MAO-B inhibitors are being developed. A total of 24 pyridazinobenzylpiperidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for MAO. Most of the compounds showed a higher inhibition of MAO-B than of MAO-A. Compound S5 most potently inhibited MAO-B with an IC50 value of 0.203 μM, followed by S16 (IC50 = 0.979 μM). In contrast, all compounds showed weak MAO-A inhibition. Among them, S15 most potently inhibited MAO-A with an IC50 value of 3.691 μM, followed by S5 (IC50 = 3.857 μM). Compound S5 had the highest selectivity index (SI) value of 19.04 for MAO-B compared with MAO-A. Compound S5 (3-Cl) showed greater MAO-B inhibition than the other derivatives with substituents of -Cl > -OCH3 > -F > -CN > -CH3 > -Br at the 3-position. However, the 2- and 4-position showed low MAO-B inhibition, except S16 (2-CN). In addition, compounds containing two or more substituents exhibited low MAO-B inhibition. In the kinetic study, the Ki values of S5 and S16 for MAO-B were 0.155 ± 0.050 and 0.721 ± 0.074 μM, respectively, with competitive reversible-type inhibition. Additionally, in the PAMPA, both lead compounds demonstrated blood-brain barrier penetration. Furthermore, stability was demonstrated by the 2V5Z-S5 complex by pi-pi stacking with Tyr398 and Tyr326. These results suggest that S5 and S16 are potent, reversible, selective MAO-B inhibitors that can be used as potential agents for the treatment of neurological disorders.

Novel 6-hydroxybenzothiazol-2-carboxamides as potent and selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitors endowed with neuroprotective activity. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 269:116266. [PMID: 38490063 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
In neurodegenerative diseases, using a single molecule that can exert multiple effects to modify the disease may have superior activity over the classical "one molecule-one target" approach. Herein, we describe the discovery of 6-hydroxybenzothiazol-2-carboxamides as highly potent and selective MAO-B inhibitors. Variation of the amide substituent led to several potent compounds having diverse side chains with cyclohexylamide 40 displaying the highest potency towards MAO-B (IC50 = 11 nM). To discover new compounds with extended efficacy against neurotoxic mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases, MAO-B inhibitors were screened against PHF6, R3 tau, cellular tau and α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation. We identified the phenethylamide 30 as a multipotent inhibitor of MAO-B (IC50 = 41 nM) and α-syn and tau aggregation. It showed no cytotoxic effects on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, while also providing neuroprotection against toxicities induced by α-syn and tau. The evaluation of key physicochemical and in vitro-ADME properties revealed a great potential as drug-like small molecules with multitarget neuroprotective activity.

Abstract
3(2H)-Pyridazinone derivatives based on 4-biphenyl, naphtha-2-yl, pyridine, or piperidine moiety were synthesized and characterized using I-R and 1HNMR spectra. The activity and cytotoxicity of some synthesized compounds on the skin epidermoid cancer cell proliferation and progression were investigated. The pyridazine isomer with pyridine revealed a significant decrease in the level of nitric oxide p < 0.01 than the activity of caffeine phenecyl ester. The activity of the three active isomers recorded significant activity for their total antioxidant content that triggers their ability for the scavenging the oxygen free radicals significantly p < 0.01. Moreover, revealing the pharmaceutical activity of the isomers as anti-inflammatory agents, IL-6, IL10, and IL12 have been decreased by variable significant values. Additionally, the active isomers revealed variable actions on the skin cancer cell to induce apoptosis using annexin V-FITC/PI. Pyridine was the highest isomer to induce late apoptosis and necrosis for the skin cancer cells against the use of cisplatin. Importantly, Molecular modeling experiments including docking and dynamic simulations were done for the most active 3 analogs to explore the ligand binding and stability leading to exploring the structure-activity relationship with biological target PARP1 which showed a good binding propensity to pyridazine binding site which supports the in vitro data. In conclusion, the pyridazine moieties with piperdine, naphthayl, and pyridine have pharmacological activities against skin cancer epidermoid by triggering action in inhibition of the proliferation and progression with an up-regulated apoptotic mechanism that evades the emergence of cisplatin resistance among different cancer cells.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The multitarget therapeutic strategy, as opposed to the more traditional 'one disease-one target-one drug', may hold promise in treating multifactorial neurodegenerative syndromes, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. Recently, combining a photopharmacology approach with the multitarget-directed ligand (MTDL) design strategy, we disclosed a novel donepezil-like compound, namely 2-(4-((diethylamino)methyl)benzylidene)-5-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (1a), which in the E isomeric form (and about tenfold less in the UV-B photo-induced isomer Z) showed the best activity as dual inhibitor of the AD-related targets acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). Herein, we investigated further photoisomerizable 2-benzylideneindan-1-one analogs 1b-h with the unconjugated tertiary amino moiety bearing alkyls of different bulkiness and lipophilicity. For each compound, the thermal stable E geometric isomer, along with the E/Z mixture as produced by UV-B light irradiation in the photostationary state (PSS, 75% Z), was investigated for the inhibition of human ChEs and MAOs. The pure E-isomer of the N-benzyl(ethyl)amino analog 1h achieved low nanomolar AChE and high nanomolar MAO-B inhibition potencies (IC50s 39 and 355 nM, respectively), whereas photoisomerization to the Z isomer (75% Z in the PSS mixture) resulted in a decrease (about 30%) of AChE inhibitory potency, and not in the MAO-B one. Molecular docking studies were performed to rationalize the different E/Z selectivity of 1h toward the two target enzymes.

Abstract
New pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazines were synthesized by 3 + 2 cycloaddition reaction between mesoionic oxazolo-pyridazinones and methyl/ethyl propiolate. The mesoionic compounds were generated in situ by action of acetic anhydride on 3(2H)pyridazinone acids obtained from corresponding esters by alkaline hydrolysis followed by acidification. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses and IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and X-ray diffraction data. The regioselectivity of cycloaddition was evidenced by NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by X-ray analysis. The compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity on plant cells (Triticum aestivum L.) and crustacean animal cells (Artemia franciscana Kellogg and Daphnia magna Straus). The results indicated that the tested compounds exhibited low toxicity on the plant cell (IC50 values higher than 200 µM), while on Artemia nauplii no lethality was observed. Daphnia magna assay showed that pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazines 5a and 5c could exhibit toxic effects, whereas, for the other compounds, toxicity was low to moderate. Also, the cytotoxic effects of the compounds were tested on three human adenocarcinoma-derived adherent cell lines (colon LoVo, ovary SK-OV-3, breast MCF-7). The in vitro compound-mediated cytotoxicity assays, performed by the MTS technique, demonstrated dose- and time-dependent cytotoxic activity for several compounds, the highest anti-tumor activity being observed for 5a, 2c, and 5f, especially against colon cancer cells.

Abstract
To facilitate the identification of novel MAO-B inhibitors, we elaborated a consolidated computational approach, including a pharmacophoric atom-based 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model, activity cliffs, fingerprint, and molecular docking analysis on a dataset of 126 molecules. An AAHR.2 hypothesis with two hydrogen bond acceptors (A), one hydrophobic (H), and one aromatic ring (R) supplied a statistically significant 3D QSAR model reflected by the parameters: R2 = 0.900 (training set); Q2 = 0.774 and Pearson's R = 0.884 (test set), stability s = 0.736. Hydrophobic and electron-withdrawing fields portrayed the relationships between structural characteristics and inhibitory activity. The quinolin-2-one scaffold has a key role in selectivity towards MAO-B with an AUC of 0.962, as retrieved by ECFP4 analysis. Two activity cliffs showing meaningful potency variation in the MAO-B chemical space were observed. The docking study revealed interactions with crucial residues TYR:435, TYR:326, CYS:172, and GLN:206 responsible for MAO-B activity. Molecular docking is in consensus with and complementary to pharmacophoric 3D QSAR, ECFP4, and MM-GBSA analysis. The computational scenario provided here will assist chemists in quickly designing and predicting new potent and selective candidates as MAO-B inhibitors for MAO-B-driven diseases. This approach can also be used to identify MAO-B inhibitors from other libraries or screen top molecules for other targets involved in suitable diseases.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by slow movement, tremors, and stiffness caused due to loss of dopaminergic neurons caused in the brain's substantia nigra. The concentration of dopamine is decreased in the brain. Parkinson's disease may be happened because of various genetic and environmental factors. Parkinson's disease is related to the irregular expression of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme, precisely type B, which causes the oxidative deamination of biogenic amines such as dopamine. MAO-B inhibitors, available currently in the market, carry various adverse effects such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, fainting, etc. So, there is an urgent need to develop new MAO-B inhibitors with minimum side effects. In this review, we have included recently studied compounds (2018 onwards). Agrawal et al. reported MAO-B inhibitors with IC50 0.0051 µM and showed good binding affinity. Enriquez et al. reported a compound with IC50 144 nM and bind with some critical amino acid residue Tyr60, Ile198, and Ile199. This article also describes the structure-activity relationship of the compounds and clinical trial studies of related derivatives. These compounds may be used as lead compounds to develop potent compounds as MAO-B inhibitors.

Effects of Chemical Structures Interacting with Amine Oxidases on Glucose, Lipid and Hydrogen Peroxide Handling by Human Adipocytes. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27196224.

Abstract
Benzylamine is a natural molecule present in food and edible plants, capable of activating hexose uptake and inhibiting lipolysis in human fat cells. These effects are dependent on its oxidation by amine oxidases present in adipocytes, and on the subsequent hydrogen peroxide production, known to exhibit insulin-like actions. Virtually, other substrates interacting with such hydrogen peroxide-releasing enzymes potentially can modulate lipid accumulation in adipose tissue. Inhibition of such enzymes has also been reported to influence lipid deposition. We have therefore studied in human adipocytes the lipolytic and lipogenic activities of pharmacological entities designed to interact with amine oxidases highly expressed in this cell type: the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO also known as PrAO or VAP-1) and the monoamine oxidases (MAO). The results showed that SZV-2016 and SZV-2017 behaved as better substrates than benzylamine, releasing hydrogen peroxide once oxidized, and reproduced or even exceeded its insulin-like metabolic effects in fat cells. Additionally, several novel SSAO inhibitors, such as SZV-2007 and SZV-1398, have been evidenced and shown to inhibit benzylamine metabolic actions. Taken as a whole, our findings reinforce the list of molecules that influence the regulation of triacylglycerol assembly/breakdown, at least in vitro in human adipocytes. The novel compounds deserve deeper investigation of their mechanisms of interaction with SSAO or MAO, and constitute potential candidates for therapeutic use in obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
Thirteen benzothiazolone derivatives (M1–M13) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against cholinesterases (ChEs) and monoamine oxidases (MAOs). All the compounds inhibited ChEs more effectively than MAOs. In addition, most of the compounds showed higher inhibitory activities against butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) than acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Compound M13 most potently inhibited BChE with an IC50 value of 1.21 μM, followed by M2 (IC50 = 1.38 μM). Compound M2 had a higher selectivity index (SI) value for BChE over AChE (28.99) than M13 (4.16). The 6-methoxy indole group of M13 was expected to have a greater effect on BChE inhibitory activity than the other groups. Kinetics and reversibility tests showed that M13 was a reversible noncompetitive BChE inhibitor with a Ki value of 1.14 ± 0.21 μM. In a docking simulation, M13 is predicted to form a hydrogen bond with the backbone carbonyl group of Ser287 of BChE through its methoxy indole moiety and π−π interactions between its benzothiazolone group and the side chain of Trp82 with the five-membered pyrrole ring and with the six-membered benzene ring. From these results, it is suggested that M13 is a BChE inhibitor and a potential candidate agent for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Development of Halogenated-Chalcones Bearing with Dimethoxy Phenyl Head as Monoamine Oxidase-B Inhibitors. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15091152. [PMID: 36145373 PMCID: PMC9503132 DOI: 10.3390/ph15091152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Two series of dimethoxy-halogenated chalcones (DM1−DM20) were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAOs). Compound DM2 exhibited the most significant inhibition against MAO-B with an IC50 value of 0.067 µM, followed by compound DM18 (IC50 = 0.118 µM), with selectivity index (SI) values of 93.88 and >338.98, respectively. However, none of the substances successfully inhibited MAO-A. The MAO-B inhibitors DM2 and DM18 were competitive and reversible, with Ki values of 0.032 ± 0.004 and 0.045 ± 0.001 µM, respectively. DM2 was non-toxic below 100 µg/mL in the cytotoxic test using the Vero epithelial cell line by the MTT method. According to molecular docking studies, DM2 and DM18 formed very similar conformations within the MAO-B binding pocket, with the ortho-chlorine and ortho-fluorine aromatic rings sandwiched between F168 and Y326. These conformations were predicted to show better interactions with the targeted MAO-B than MAO-A. In particular, the induced-fit docking of the dimethoxy phenyl ring of DM2 facing the hydrophobic pocket made up of FAD, Y398, and Y435 had an impact on F168 in the docking pocket. Taken together, DM2 and DM18 may be suitable candidates for treating neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease.
