The multifactorial nature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) calls for the development of multitarget agents addressing key pathogenic processes. A novel family of donepezil-butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) hybrids were designed, synthesized and evaluated as multifunctional ligands against AD. The optimal compound 7d displayed a balanced multifunctional profile covering an intriguing acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition (IC50, 0.075 μM for eeAChE and 0.75 μM for hAChE) and Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibition (IC50, 7.4 μM for hMAO-B), excellent antioxidant activity (71.7 μM of IC50 by DPPH method, 0.82 and 1.62 trolox equivalent by ABTS method and ORAC method respectively), and inhibitory effects on self-induced, hAChE-induced Aβ aggregation. Moreover, 7d possessed neuroprotective potency against H2O2-induced oxidative damage on PC12 cells and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated inflammation on BV2 cells. Compound 7d was capable of penetrating BBB and presented good liver microsomal metabolic stability. Importantly, compound 7d could dose-dependently reverse scopolamine-induced memory deficit in mice without acute toxicity. Taken together, those outstanding results highlight the donepezil-BHT hybrid 7d as a promising prototype in the research of innovative compound for AD.

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.

Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) plays a key role in most cytokine-mediated inflammatory and autoimmune responses through JAK/STAT signaling; thus, JAK1 inhibition is a promising therapeutic strategy for several diseases. Analysis of the binding modes of current JAK inhibitors to JAK isoforms allowed the design of N-alkyl-substituted 1-H-pyrrolo[2,3-b] pyridine carboxamide as a JAK1-selective scaffold, and the synthesis of various methyl amide derivatives provided 4-((cis-1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-methylpiperidin-4-yl)amino)-N-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide (31g) as a potent JAK1-selective inhibitor. In particular, the (S,S)-enantiomer of 31g (38a) exhibited excellent potency for JAK1 and selectivity over JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2. On investigating the effect of 31g on hepatic fibrosis, it was found that it reduces the proliferation and fibrogenic gene expression of TGF-β-induced hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Specifically, 31g significantly inhibited TGF-β-induced migration of HSCs at 0.25 μM in wound-healing assays.

The multifactorial nature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) calls for the development of multitarget agents addressing key pathogenic processes. A total of 26 Claulansine F-donepezil hybrids were designed and synthesized as multitarget drugs. Among these compounds, six compounds exhibited excellent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) 1.63-4.62 μM). Moreover, (E)-3-(8-(tert-Butyl)-3,3-dimethyl-3,11-dihydropyrano[3,2-a]carbazol- 5-yl)-N-((1-(2-chlorobenzyl)piperidin-4-yl)methyl)acrylamide (6bd) exhibited better neuroprotective effects against OGD/R (oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation) than lead compound Claulansine F. Furthermore, 6bd could cross the blood-brain barrier in vitro. More importantly, compared to edaravone, 6bd had stronger free-radical scavenging activity. Molecular docking studies revealed that 6bd could interact with the catalytic active site of AChE. All of these outstanding in vitro results indicate 6bd as a leading structure worthy of further investigation.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most devastating neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by multiple pathological features. Therefore, multi-target drug discovery has been one of the most active fields searching for new effective anti-AD therapies. Herein, a series of hybrid compounds are reported which were designed and developed by combining an aryl-sulfonamide function with a benzyl-piperidine moiety, the pharmacophore of donepezil (a current anti-AD acetylcholinesterase AChE inhibitor drug) or its benzyl-piperazine analogue. The in vitro results indicate that some of these hybrids achieve optimized activity towards two main AD targets, by displaying excellent AChE inhibitory potencies, as well as the capability to prevent amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation. Some of these hybrids also prevented Aβ-induced cell toxicity. Significantly, drug-like properties were predicted, including for blood-brain permeability. Compound 9 emerged as a promising multi-target lead compound (AChE inhibition (IC50 1.6 μM); Aβ aggregation inhibition 60.7%). Overall, this family of hybrids is worthy of further exploration, due to the wide biological activity of sulfonamides.

Cholinesterase inhibitor plays an important role in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Herein, we report the medicinal chemistry efforts leading to a new series of 1,3-dimethylbenzimidazolinone derivatives. Among the synthesised compounds, 15b and 15j showed submicromolar IC50 values (15b, eeAChE IC50 = 0.39 ± 0.11 μM; 15j, eqBChE IC50 = 0.16 ± 0.04 μM) towards acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Kinetic and molecular modelling studies revealed that 15b and 15j act in a competitive manner. 15b and 15j showed neuroprotective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative damage on PC12 cells. This effect was further supported by their antioxidant activity determined in a DPPH assay in vitro. Morris water maze test confirmed the memory amelioration effect of the two compounds in a scopolamine-induced mouse model. Moreover, the hepatotoxicity of 15b and 15j was lower than tacrine. In summary, these data suggest 15b and 15j are promising multifunctional agents against AD.

A series of multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs), obtained by attachment of a hydroxyphenylbenzimidazole (BIM) unit to donepezil (DNP) active mimetic moiety (benzylpiperidine /-piperazine) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potential anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) drugs in terms of biological activity (inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation), metal chelation, and neuroprotection capacity. Among the DNP-BIM hybrids studied herein, the structural isomerization did not significantly improve the biological properties, while some substitutions, namely fluorine atom in each moiety or the methoxy group in the benzyl ring, evidenced higher cholinergic AChE activity. All the compounds are able to chelate Cu and Zn metal ions through their bidentate BIM moieties, but compound 5, containing a three-dentate chelating unit, is the strongest Cu(II) chelator. Concerning the viability on neuroblastoma cells, compounds 9 and 10 displayed the highest reduction of Aβ-induced cell toxicity. In silico calculations of some pharmacokinetic descriptors indicate that all the compounds but the nitro derivatives have good potential oral-bioavailability. Overall, it can be concluded that most of the studied DNP-BIM conjugates showed quite good anti-AD properties, therefore deserving to be considered in further studies with the aim of understanding and treating AD.

The therapeutic use of A2A adenosine receptor (AR) antagonists for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases, is a very promising approach. Moreover, the potential therapeutic role of A2A AR antagonists to avoid both immunoescaping of tumor cells and tumor development is well documented. Herein, we report on the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new set of piperazine-and piperidine-containing 7-amino-2-(furan-2-yl)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives designed as human A2A AR antagonists/inverse agonists. Binding and potency data indicated that a good number of potent and selective hA2A AR inverse agonists were found. Amongst them, the 2-(furan-2-yl)-N5-(2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)ethyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-5,7-diamine 11 exhibited the highest A2A AR binding affinity (Ki = 8.62 nM) as well as inverse agonist potency (IC50 = 7.42 nM). In addition, bioinformatics prediction using the web tool SwissADME revealed that 8, 11, and 19 possessed good drug-likeness profiles.
