Novel BuChE-IDO1 inhibitors from sertaconazole: Virtual screening, chemical optimization and molecular modeling studies

In our effort towards the identification of novel BuChE-IDO1 dual-targeted inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), sertaconazole was identified through a combination of structure-based virtual screening followed by MM-GBSA rescoring. Preliminary chemical optimization was performed to develop more potent and selective sertaconazole analogues. In consideration of the selectivity and the inhibitory activity against target proteins, compounds 5c and 5d were selected for the next study. Further modification of compound 5c led to the generation of compound 10g with notably improved selectivity towards BuChE versus AChE. The present study provided us with a good starting point to further design potent and selective BuChE-IDO1 inhibitors, which may benefit the treatment of late stage AD.

Azole antifungal compounds could have dual cholinesterase inhibitory potential according to virtual screening, enzyme kinetics, and toxicity studies of an inhouse library

Recent advances in cholinesterase inhibitors opened new venues for the treatment of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Certain azole antifungals like miconazole were reported to have cholinesterase inhibitory effects and hence ameliorate cognitive deficits. In this study, we tested a set of azole antifungal derivatives selected through virtual screening of an inhouse library for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory effects. Compound 61 showed potent and selective AChE inhibition (IC50 = 8.77 μM). The study also yielded dual AChE/BChE inhibitors in addition to a number of potent AChE inhibitors. Enzyme kinetics assays revealed that AChE inhibitors were competitive inhibitors. All the active compounds were imidazole derivatives and the modeling study showed that imidazole at protonated state contributed greatly to the binding interactions with some key residues of AChE and BChE active site. The active derivatives had negligible cytotoxic effects on murine fibroblast viability. According to our results, compounds featuring the classical scaffold of azole antifungal drugs could hold high potential for anticholinesterase drug design.
