By fusing donepezil and curcumin, a novel series of compounds were obtained as multitarget-directed ligands against Alzheimer's disease. Among them, compound 11b displayed potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition (IC50?=?187?nM) and the highest BuChE/AChE selectivity (66.3). Compound 11b also inhibited 45.3% Aβ1–42 self-aggregation at 20?μM and displayed remarkable antioxidant effects. The metal-chelating property of compound 11b was elucidated by determining the 1:1 stoichiometry for the 11b–Cu(II) complex. The excellent blood–brain barrier permeability of 11b also indicated the potential for the compound to penetrate the central nervous system.

The first total synthesis of (±)-7,3′-dihydroxy-4′ -methoxyflavan (1) and (±)-7,4′-dihydroxy-3′-methoxyflavan (2), along with the synthesis of (±)-7,4′-dihydroxyflavan (3), three naturally occurring flavans, were described. The key step is the cyclization of 1,3-diaryl-1-propanol by BF3·Et2O.
