Indanone derivatives with meta/para-substituted aminopropoxy benzyl/benzylidene moieties were designed as cholinesterase inhibitors based on the structures of donepezil and ebselen analogs. The synthesized compounds showed inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), with IC50 values ranging from 0.12 to 11.92 μM and 0.04 to 24.36 μM, respectively. The most potent AChE inhibitor was compound 5c, belonging to the meta-substituted compounds, while the most active BChE inhibitor was para-substituted derivative 7b. The introduced indanone-aminopropoxy benzylidenes have potential for drug discovery against Alzheimer's disease.
Indanone derivatives containing meta/para-substituted aminopropoxy benzyl/benzylidene moieties were designed based on the structures of donepezil and ebselen analogs as the cholinesterase inhibitors. The designed compounds were synthesized and their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activities were measured. Inhibitory potencies (IC50 values) for the synthesized compounds ranged from 0.12 to 11.92 & mu;M and 0.04 to 24.36 & mu;M against AChE and BChE, respectively. Compound 5 c showed the highest AChE inhibitory potency with IC50 value of 0.12 & mu;M, whereas the highest BChE inhibition was achieved by structure 7 b (IC50=0.04 & mu;M). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that there is no significant difference between meta and para-substituted derivatives in AChE and BChE inhibition. However, the most potent AChE inhibitor 5 c belongs to meta-substituted compounds, while the most active BChE inhibitor is para-substituted derivative 7 b. The order of enzyme inhibition potency based on the substituted amine group is dimethyl amine>piperidine>morpholine. Compounds containing C=C linkage are more potent AChE inhibitors than the corresponding saturated structures. Molecular docking studies indicated that 5 c interacts with AChE in a very similar way to that observed experimentally for donepezil. The introduced indanone-aminopropoxy benzylidenes could be used in drug-discovery against Alzheimer's disease.
