Two series of naphthoquinone and anthraquinone derivatives decorated with an aromatic/heteroaromatic chain have been synthesized and evaluated as potential promiscuous agents capable of targeting different factors playing a key role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. On the basis of the in vitro biological profiling, most of them exhibited a significant ability to inhibit amyloid aggregation, PHF6 tau sequence aggregation, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and monoamine oxidase (MAO) B. In particular, naphthoquinone 2 resulted as one of the best performing multitarget-directed ligand (MTDL) experiencing a high potency profile in inhibiting β-amyloid (Aβ40) aggregation (IC50 = 3.2 μM), PHF6 tau fragment (91% at 10 μM), AChE enzyme (IC50 = 9.2 μM) jointly with a remarkable inhibitory activity against MAO B (IC50 = 7.7 nM). Molecular modeling studies explained the structure-activity relationship (SAR) around the binding modes of representative compound 2 in complex with hMAO B and hAChE enzymes, revealing inhibitor/protein key contacts and the likely molecular rationale for enzyme selectivity. Compound 2 was also demonstrated to be a strong inhibitor of Aβ42 aggregation, with potency comparable to quercetin. Accordingly, atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the most promising naphthoquinones 2 and 5 and anthraquinones 11 and 12 were able to impair Aβ42 fibrillation, deconstructing the morphologies of its fibrillar aggregates. Moreover, the same compounds exerted a moderate neuroprotective effect against Aβ42 toxicity in primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells. Therefore, our findings demonstrate that these molecules may represent valuable chemotypes toward the development of promising candidates for AD therapy.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing an N-(2-aminoethyl)azole compound, which is a preparation method offering short reaction time, high purification efficiency of a final product, high production efficiency and high safety because a reaction solution undergoes no heat generation or rise of liquid level caused by bubbling. SOLUTION: The method for preparing the N-(2-aminoethyl)azole compound comprises reacting an azole-based compound (A) and an ethylamine derivative (B) having a leaving group at position 2 in the presence of a base (C) in a solvent (D) so as to prepare the N-(2-aminoethyl)azole compound. Here, the ethylamine derivative (B) having the leaving group at position 2 is fed to the reaction system in portions while the reaction system is maintained at 50-200°C.

A number of analogues of the recently described compound nematophin were prepared and studied for antibacterial activity. The 2-phenyl derivative was found to exhibit exceptional activity against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) whereas the isosteric benzimidazole analogue was much less active.
