Dantrolene, a drug used for the management of malignant hyperthermia, had been recently evaluated for prospective repurposing as multitarget agent for neurodegenerative syndromes, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, twenty-one dantrolene-like hydrazide and hydrazone analogues were synthesized with the aim of exploring structure-activity relationships (SARs) for the inhibition of human monoamine oxidases (MAOs) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), two well-established target enzymes for anti-AD drugs. With few exceptions, the newly synthesized compounds exhibited selectivity toward MAO B over either MAO A or AChE, with the secondary aldimine 9 and phenylhydrazone 20 attaining IC50 values of 0.68 and 0.81 μM, respectively. While no general SAR trend was observed with lipophilicity descriptors, a molecular simplification strategy allowed the main pharmacophore features to be identified, which are responsible for the inhibitory activity toward MAO B. Finally, further in vitro investigations revealed cell protection from oxidative insult and activation of carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier as concomitant biological activities responsible for neuroprotection by hits 9 and 20 and other promising compounds in the examined series.

Human sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) is a protein deacylase regulating metabolic pathways and stress responses and is implicated in metabolism-related diseases. Small-molecule inhibitors for SIRT5 are sought as chemical tools and potential therapeutics. Herein, we proposed a customized virtual screening approach targeting catalytically important and unique residues Tyr102 and Arg105 of SIRT5. Of the 20 tested virtual screening hits, six compounds displayed marked inhibitory activities against SIRT5. For the hit compound 19, a series of newly synthesized (E)-2-cyano-N-phenyl-3-(5-phenylfuran-2-yl)acrylamide derivatives/analogues were carried out structure–activity relationship analyses, resulting in new more potent inhibitors, among which 37 displayed the most potent inhibition to SIRT5 with an IC50 value of 5.59?±?0.75?μM. The biochemical studies revealed that 37 likely acts via competitive inhibition with the succinyl-lysine substrate, rather than the NAD+ cofactor, and it manifested substantial selectivity for SIRT5 over SIRT2 and SIRT6. This study will aid further efforts to develop new selective SIRT5 inhibitors as tools and therapeutics.

An efficient synthetic route for the preparation of 5-heteroaryl- and 5-aryl-2-furaldehydes has been developed. It has been accomplished by the palladium(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of heteroarylzinc and arylzinc reagents with 5-bromo-2-furaldehyde under very mild conditions.
