- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel bifunctional iron-chelators as potential agents for neuroprotection in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative diseases
-
Several novel antioxidant-iron chelators bearing 8-hydroxyoxyquinoline moiety were synthesized, and various properties related to their iron chelation, and neuroprotective action were investigated. All the chelators exhibited strong iron(III) chelating and high antioxidant properties. Chelator 9 (HLA20), having good permeability into K562 cells and moderate selective MAO-B inhibitory activity (IC50 110 μM), displayed the hightest protective effects against differentiated P19 cell death induced by 6-hydroxydopamine. EPR studies suggested that Chelator 9 also act as radical scavenger to directly scavenge hydroxyl radical.

Use of a compound of formula (I), wherein R1 is H or hydrocarbyl; R2 is a hydrophobic radical; R3 is 3-(C2-C6)acyl-4-hydroxyphenyl, 3-hydroxyimino (C2-C6)-alkyl-4-hydroxyphenyl, or COOZ, wherein Z is H, (C1-C6) alkyl, aryl, aryl or ar(C1-C6) alkyl; and n is 1-20; and of a compound of formula (II), wherein R4 is (C1-C6) alkyl, cyano (C1-C6) alkyl, (C1-C6) alkoxy (C1-C6) alkyl or —CH2NR7R8, wherein R7 and R8, the same or different, is each H or (C1-C6) alkyl, or together with the N atom form a saturated or unsaturated 5-7 membered ring optionally containing a further heteroatom selected from N, O or S, the further N atom being optionally substituted, and either R5 is H and R6 is (C2-C6) acyl or hydroxyimino (C2-C6) alkyl, or R5 and R6 together with the phenyl ring form a quinoline, a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline or a perhydroquinoline ring, for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of Parkinson's disease or stroke.
