In our overall goal to overcome the limitations associated with natural products for the management of Alzheimer's disease and to develop in-vivo active multifunctional cholinergic inhibitors, we embarked on the development of ferulic acid analogs. A systematic SAR study to improve upon the cholinesterase inhibition of ferulic acid with analogs that also had lower logP was carried out. Enzyme inhibition and kinetic studies identified compound 7a as a lead molecule with preferential acetylcholinesterase inhibition (AChE IC50 = 5.74 ± 0.13 μM; BChE IC50 = 14.05 ± 0.10 μM) compared to the parent molecule ferulic acid (% inhibition of AChE and BChE at 20 μM, 15.19 ± 0.59 and 19.73 ± 0.91, respectively). Molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that 7a fits well into the active sites of AChE and BChE, forming stable and strong interactions with key residues Asp74, Trp286, and Tyr337 in AChE and with Tyr128, Trp231, Leu286, Ala328, Phe329, and Tyr341 in BChE. Compound 7a was found to be an efficacious antioxidant in a DPPH assay (IC50 = 57.35 ± 0.27 μM), and it also was able to chelate iron. Data from atomic force microscopy images demonstrated that 7a was able to modulate aggregation of amyloid β1-42. Upon oral administration, 7a exhibited promising in-vivo activity in the scopolamine-induced AD animal model and was able to improve spatial memory in cognitive deficit mice in the Y-maze model. Analog 7a could effectively reverse the increased levels of AChE and BChE in scopolamine-treated animals and exhibited potent ex-vivo antioxidant properties. These findings suggest that 7a can act as a lead molecule for the development of naturally-inspired multifunctional molecules for the management of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Rational drug design method has been used to generate 4-arylpiperazine carboxamides in an effort to develop safer, more potent and effective monoamine neurotransmitters reuptake inhibitors. Out of twenty-seven synthesized compounds, compound 9 displayed potent monoamine neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activity against HEK cells transfected with hSERT or hNET. A Surflex-Dock docking model of 9 was also studied.

Two series of hybrid analogues were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as a novel class of selective ligands for the dopamine D3 receptor. Binding affinities of target compounds were determined (using the method of radioligand binding assay). Compared to comparator agent BP897, compounds 2a and 2c were found to demonstrate a considerable binding affinity and selectivity for D3 receptor, and especially compound 2h was similarly potent and more selective D3R ligand than BP897, a positive reference. Thus, they may provide valuable information for the discovery and development of highly potent dopamine D3 receptor ligands with outstanding selectivity.

In the search for potent dual norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors, several substituted arylpiperazine–tetrazoles were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activities. Various derivatives exhibited selective and strong neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activity. In particular, compounds with a three-carbon linker displayed selective and stronger potency than those with two-carbon and four-carbon linkers. Interestingly, six compounds, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9o, 9q and 9u displayed more effective activity than the standard drug, bupropion. The provided SAR data and potent biological activity can offer useful guidelines for designing dual norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors as effective therapeutic agents for treatment of several central nervous system diseases.

Combined blockade of IKr and IKs potassium channels is considered to be a promising therapeutic strategy for arrhythmia. In this study, we designed and synthesized 15 derivatives through modifying the hit compound 7 that was discovered by screening in-house database by whole-patch clamp technique. All of the compounds were evaluated on CHO and HEK 293 cell lines stably expressing hERG (IKr) and hKCNQ1/KCNE1 (IKs) potassium channels, and half of them exhibited improved dual IKr and IKs inhibitory effects compared to the hit compound. Compounds 7a and 7b with potent dual inhibitory activities were selected for further in vivo evaluations. Due to the preferable pharmacological behaviors, compound 7a deserved further optimization as a promising lead compound.

A series of novel N-[3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)-propyl]-carboxamide derivatives were synthesised and studied for the potential treatment of HIV. These compounds were obtained through the efficient synthetic route that involved microwave assisted synthesis. These new compounds have been characterised by IR,1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The cell-cell fusion inhibitory activities of the compounds have also been evaluated.

A method of treating allergic disorders and pharmaceutical compositions therefore are disclosed for a series of 5-[(4-aryl-1-piperazinyl)alkyl]-2-oxazolidinone derivatives of Formula I. These compounds are useful in inhibiting Type I allergic STR1 responses in a living animal and thus can be used to treat allergic phenomena such as asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, chronic hives, allergic conjunctivitis and the like.
