Structure-based design of novel donepezil-like hybrids for a multi-target approach to the therapy of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a widespread multifactorial aging-related pathology, which includes cholinergic deficit among its main causes. Following a multi-target design strategy, the structure of the approved drug donepezil was taken as the starting point for generating some new potential multi-functional compounds. Therefore, a series of twenty molecular hybrids were synthesized and assayed against three different enzymes, namely the well-established targets acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and the innovative one fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). In silico studies confirmed the interaction of benzylpiperidine and the benzylpiperazine isostere with the catalytic anionic site (CAS) of AChE, while the aryloxycarbonyl portion appeared to be important for the interaction with the peripheral site (PAS). A QSAR study was carried out on AChE inhibition data, which revealed that the inhibition potency seems to depend upon the length of the spacer and the number of polar atoms. The docking poses of selected compounds within BChE and FAAH were also calculated. Furthermore, pharmacokinetics and drug-likeness properties were assessed by chemoinformatic tools. Several piperidine derivatives (in particular compound 10) showed interesting profiles as multi-target directed agents, while the lead piperazine derivative 12 (SON38) was found to be a more potent and selective AChE inhibitor (IC50 = 0.8 nM) than donepezil, besides being able to bind bivalent copper cations (pCu = 7.9 at physiological pH). Finally, the selected lead compounds (10 and 12, SON38) did not show significant cytotoxicity on SH-SY5Y and HepG2 cells at the highest tested concentration (100 μM) in a MTT assay.

Oxime Ethers: New Potent Insect Growth Regulators

Oxime ethers containing a 4-phenoxyphenoxy group in the molecules were synthesized and their insect growth regulating (IGR) activities were studied.Of these new IGR's, propionaldehyde oxime O-2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethyl ether and propionaldehyde oxime O-2-(phenoxyphenoxy)propyl ether were found to be most effective, having much higher activities than methoprene against larvae of Culex pipiens pallens and Musca domestica by the immersion method and medium method, respectively.In addition, the effects of steric isomerism of these compounds were examined; their IGR activities were found to have a close relationship to the juvenile hormone activity by the Galleria wax test.

Beclobrate and eniclobrate hydrochloride, new diphenylmethane derivatives as agents for lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Part I: Synthesis and consideration of structure-activity relationships (author's transl)

Within the course of a research project for finding new lipid-lowering substances with better therapeutic indices than the standard agent in use, various diphenylmethane derivatives were synthesized and tested with respect to their activity and toxicity. On the basis of these results Sgd 24774 (beclobrate) and Sgd 33374 (eniclobrate-hydrochloride) were selected for further investigation and clinical studies.
