Development of multitargeted ligands have demonstrated remarkable efficiency as potential therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, we reported a new series of deoxyvasicinone analogues as dual inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and tau aggregation that function as multitargeted ligands for AD. All the multitargeted ligands 11(a-j) and 15(a-g) were designed, synthesized, and validated by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and mass spectrometry. All the synthesized compounds 11(a-j) and 15(a-g) were screened for their ability to inhibit AChE, BACE1, amyloid fibrillation, α-syn aggregation, and tau aggregation. All the screened compounds possessed weak inhibition of BACE-1, Aβ42 and α-syn aggregation. However, several compounds were identified as potential hits in the AChE inhibitory screening assay and cellular tau aggregation screening. Among all compounds, 11f remarkably inhibited AChE activity and cellular tau oligomerization at single-dose screening (10 μM). Moreover, 11f displayed a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 0.91 ± 0.05 μM and half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) value of 3.83 ± 0.51 μM for the inhibition of AChE and cellular tau oligomerization, respectively. In addition, the neuroprotective effect of 11f was determined in tau-expressing SH-SY5Y cells incubated with Aβ oligomers. These findings highlighted the potential of 11f to function as a multifunctional ligand for the development of promising anti-AD drugs.

N-(3-Fluorophenyl)-1-[(4-([(3S)-3-methyl-1-piperazinyl]methyl)phenyl) acetyl]-4-piperidinamine 12 (GSK962040) is a novel small molecule motilin receptor agonist. It possesses excellent activity at the recombinant human motilin receptor and also at the native rabbit motilin receptor where its agonist activity results in potentiation of the amplitude of neuronal-mediated contractions of isolated gastric antrum tissue. Compound 12 also possesses highly promising pharmacokinetic profiles in both rat and dog, and these results, in combination with further profiling in human native tissue and an in vivo model of gastrointestinal transit in the rabbit, have led to its selection as a candidate for further development.

Our drug discovery efforts for N-type calcium channel blockers in the 4-piperidinylaniline series led to the discovery of an orally active analgesic agent 26. 1-[4-Dimethylamino-benzyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-[4-(3,3-dimethyl-butyl)-phenyl]-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-amine (26) showed high affinity to functionally block N-type calcium channels (IC50=0.7 μM in the IMR32 assay) and exhibited high efficacy in the anti-writhing analgesia test with mice (ED50=12 mg/kg by po and 4 mg/kg by iv). In this report, the rationale for the design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and pharmacokinetics of this series of blockers is described. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
