Cholinergic depletion is the direct cause of disability and dementia among AD patients. AChE is a classical and key target of cholinergic disorders. Some new inhibitors of AChE combining pyridine, acylhydrazone and N-benzylpiperidine fragments were developed in this work. The hit structure was optimized to yield the compound 21 with an IC50 value of 6.62 nM against AChE, while almost no inhibitory effect against BChE. ADMET predictions and PAMPA permeability evaluation showed good drug-like property. The higher activity with an intermediate alkyl chain substitution indicates a new binding mode of inhibitor with AChE. This finding provides new insights into the binding mechanism and is helpful for discovery of novel high-activity AChE inhibitors.

A series of twenty seven acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, as potential agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, were designed and synthesised based upon previously unexplored chemical space surrounding the molecular skeleton of the drug donepezil, which is currently used for the management of mild to severe Alzheimer's disease. Two series of analogues were prepared, the first looking at the replacement of the piperidine ring in donepezil with different sized saturated N-containing ring systems and the second looking at the introduction of different linkers between the indanone and piperidine rings in donepezil. The most active analogue 5,6-dimethoxy-1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl 1-benzylpiperidine-4-carboxylate (67) afforded an in vitro IC50value of 0.03 ± 0.07 μM against acetylcholinesterase with no cytotoxicity observed (IC50of >100 μM, SH-SY5Y cell line). In comparison donepezil had an IC50of 0.05 ± 0.06 μM and an observed cytotoxicity IC50of 15.54 ± 1.12 μM. Molecular modelling showed a strong correlation between activity and in silico binding in the active site of acetylcholinesterase.

Via Knoevenagel condensation of N-benzyl-4-piperidone with malononitrile some new 4-substituted N-benzyl-piperidines have been prepared. By means of these transformations an economic and large-scale synthesis of biologically important intermediate N-benzyl-piperidine-4-ethanol has been elaborated.
