Thanks to the widespread use and safety profile of donepezil (1) in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the most widely adopted multi-target-directed ligand (MTDL) design strategies is to modify its molecular structure by linking a second fragment carrying an additional AD-relevant biological property. Herein, supported by a proposed combination therapy of 1 and the quinone drug idebenone, we rationally designed novel 1-based MTDLs targeting Aβ and oxidative pathways. By exploiting a bioisosteric replacement of the indanone core of 1 with a 1,4-naphthoquinone, we ended up with a series of highly merged derivatives, in principle devoid of the “physicochemical challenge” typical of large hybrid-based MTDLs. A preliminary investigation of their multi-target profile identified 9, which showed a potent and selective butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, together with antioxidant and antiaggregating properties. In addition, it displayed a promising drug-like profile.
Composition for Distructing Microalgae

Paragraph 0459-0462, (2017/09/05)
The present invention relates to a composition for destroying microalgae, more specifically, to a composition for destroying microalgae containing naphthoquinone compounds having a specific exchange group. The composition for destroying microalgae, according to the present invention, can prevent green tide and red tide by being processed in areas such as cultivation facilities for microalgae, areas in which the green tide or the red tide occur, or areas expected to occur the green tide or the red tide.
