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.

4′-Phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) catalyze a post-translational modification essential to bacterial cell viability and virulence. We present the discovery and medicinal chemistry optimization of 2-pyridinyl-N-(4-aryl)piperazine-1-carbothioamides, which exhibit submicromolar inhibition of bacterial Sfp-PPTase with no activity toward the human orthologue. Moreover, compounds within this class possess antibacterial activity in the absence of a rapid cytotoxic response in human cells. An advanced analogue of this series, ML267 (55), was found to attenuate production of an Sfp-PPTase-dependent metabolite when applied to Bacillus subtilis at sublethal doses. Additional testing revealed antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and chemical genetic studies implicated efflux as a mechanism for resistance in Escherichia coli. Additionally, we highlight the in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion and in vivo pharmacokinetic profiles of compound 55 to further demonstrate the potential utility of this small-molecule inhibitor.
