- Design, synthesis and evaluation of phthalide alkyl tertiary amine derivatives as promising acetylcholinesterase inhibitors with high potency and selectivity against Alzheimer's disease
-
A series of phthalide alkyl tertiary amine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential multi-target agents against Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results indicated that almost all the compounds displayed significant AChE inhibitory and selective activities. Besides, most of the derivatives exhibited increased self-induced Aβ1-42 aggregation inhibitory activity compared to the lead compound DL-NBP, and some compounds also exerted good antioxidant activity. Specifically, compound I-8 showed the highest inhibitory potency toward AChE (IC50 = 2.66 nM), which was significantly better than Donepezil (IC50 = 26.4 nM). Moreover, molecular docking studies revealed that compound I-8 could bind to both the catalytic active site and peripheral anionic site of AChE. Furthermore, compound I-8 displayed excellent BBB permeability in vitro. Importantly, the step-down passive avoidance test indicated that I-8 significantly reversed scopolamine-induced memory deficit in mice. Collectively, these results suggested that I-8 might be a potent and selective AChE inhibitor for further anti-AD drug development.

- Novel antagonists of serotonin-4 receptors: Synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrrolothienopyrazines
-
Based on the definition of a 5-HT4 receptor antagonist pharmacophore, a series of pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-e] and pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-e] pyrazine derivatives were designed, prepared, and evaluated to determine the properties necessary for high-affinity binding to 5-HT4 receptors. The compounds were synthesized by substituting the chlorine atom of the pyrazine ring with various N-alkyl-4-piperidinylmethanolates. They were evaluated in binding assays with [3H]GR113808 (1) as the 5-HT4 receptor radioligand. The affinity values (Ki or inhibition percentages) were affected by both the substituent on the aromatic ring and the substituent on the lateral piperidine chain. A methyl group on the tricyclic ring produced a marked increase in affinity while an N-propyl or N-butyl group gave compounds with nanomolar affinities. Among the most potent ligands, 34d was selected for further pharmacological studies and evaluated in vivo. This compound acts as an antagonist/weak partial agonist in COS-7 cells stably expressing the 5-HT4(a) receptor and is of great interest as a peripheral antinociceptive agent.

- Omega-quaternary ammonium alkyl esters and thioesters of acidic nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs
-
Quaternary ammonium alkyl esters and thioesters of acidic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are disclosed. These esters and thioesters display the anti--inflammatory profile of the parent NSAIDs with greatly reduced gastrointestinal irritancy, providing a more favorable separation of therapeutic activity and toxicological side effects than the parent NSAIDs.
