A series of berberine-thiophenyl hybrids were designed, synthesised, and evaluated as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation and as antioxidants. Among these hybrids, compounds 4f and 4i, berberine linked with o-methylthiophenyl and o-chlorothiophenyl by a 2-carbon spacer, were observed to be potent inhibitors of AChE, with IC50 values of 0.077 and 0.042 μM, respectively. Of the tested compounds, 4i was also the most potent inhibitor of BuChE, with an IC50 value of 0.662 μM. Kinetic studies and molecular modelling simulations of the AChE-inhibitor complex indicated that a mixed-competitive binding mode existed for these berberine derivatives. The biological studies also demonstrated that these hybrids displayed interesting activities, including Aβ aggregation inhibition and antioxidant properties.

1-(4-Nitrophenyl)-7-phenylthioheptane (1) and -9-phenylthiononane (2) have been synthesized and their conformations studied in solution and in the solid state. MMX calculations suggest that the global energy minimum structures are bent in the gas phase, probably owing to edge-to-face intramolecular attractive interaction between the electron rich and the electron poor terminal aryl groups. These conformations were confirmed in solution using 2D NOESY NMR. In the solid state, 1 and 2 exist in the staggered, linear conformation, stacked head-to-tail, with the plane of the nitro group being tilted above the plane of the benzene ring. It appears that the crystal lattice forces overcome the weak edge-to-face intramolecular aromatic interactions that dominate in the gas phase and in solution. The corresponding azides were treated with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid to generate the nitrenium ions, which underwent intramolecular ring-closure to give the corresponding 17- and 19-membered ring thiamacrocycles in modest yields. These results support the suggestion that MMX calculations on appropriate model compounds may be useful in predicting which precursors will lead to macrocycles and which will not.
