Benzofuran-derived benzylpyridinium bromides as potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors

Add time:07/19/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A series of benzofuran-based N-benzylpyridinium derivatives 5a–o were designed and synthesized as novel AChE inhibitors. The synthetic pathway of the compounds involved the preparation of 4-(benzofuran-2-yl)pyridine intermediates via the reaction of different salicylaldehyde derivatives and 4-(bromomethyl)pyridine, followed by intramolecular cyclization. Subsequently, the 4-(benzofuran-2-yl)pyridines were N-benzylated by using appropriate benzyl bromide to afford the final product 5a–o. The results of in vitro AChE activity evaluation of synthesized compounds revealed that all compound had potent anti-AChE activity comparable or more potent than standard drug donepezil. The N-(3,5-dimethylbenzyl) derivative 5e with IC50 value of 4.1 nM was the most active compound, being 7-fold more potent than donepezil.
