With the aim of reducing side effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) during symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease, we report herein a new class of donepezil-based "bio-oxidizable" prodrugs 1 designed to be converted into dual binding site AChEIs 2. While most of indanone-derived N-benzylpyridinium salts 2 revealed to be highly potent dual binding site hAChEIs (IC50 up to 3 nM), outperforming the standard drug donepezil (IC50 = 11 nM), most of the corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridines 1 were found to be inactive. Promisingly, whereas the selected prodrug 1r showed good permeability in the PAMPA-BBB model and high in vitro antioxidant activity, its conversion to AChEI 2r could be easily achieved under mild conditions when incubated in various oxidizing media. Lastly, both compounds 1r and 2r did not show genotoxicity in vitro and displayed high LD50 values in mice, making this prodrug 1r/drug 2r couple a good candidate for further in vivo biological experiments.

A compound of formula (I) in which the dotted lines indicate the presence of at least one double bond; n = 0 to 4; R3 and R4 are H, or when n = 1, R3 and R4 can also form together a double bond between the carbon atoms, and m = 0, 1 or 2, Z is CH or N or Z is C and - CHR3- is =CH- linked by the double bond to cyclopentanone; or - (-)m- is absent, and Z is NH, >N-alkyl, >N-phenyl, >N-benzyl or >N heteroaryl; R8 is alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl which can be optionally substituted; EWG represents an electron withdrawing group selected from the group comprising COOR, COSR, CONRR', CN, COR, CF3, SOR, SO2R, SONRR', SO2NRR', NO2, halogen, heteroaryl; and the pharmaceutical salts and stereisomers thereof. The compounds of formula (I) are potent in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
