Chemical similarity assisted search for acetylcholinesterase inhibitors: Molecular modeling and evaluation of their neuroprotective properties

Chandran Remya et al.

Summary: This study identified two potent AChE inhibitors from the ZINC database using in silico approaches and validated their in vitro effects. These inhibitors showed strong selectivity towards AChE and did not cause significant reductions in cell viability of HEK-293 cells and primary cortical neurons. Additionally, they exhibited promising neuroprotective properties against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in primary cortical neurons.

Jan Konecny et al.

Summary: The study designed and evaluated 15 novel fluoren-9-amine derivatives, demonstrating their potential therapeutic efficacy for Alzheimer's disease. These compounds displayed selective inhibition of BChE and antagonistic activity on the NMDA receptors. Enzyme kinetics and docking studies elucidated their interaction with BChE, revealing a competitive inhibitory mechanism.

7-phenoxytacrine is a dually acting drug with neuroprotective efficacy in vivo

Martina Kaniakova et al.

Summary: NMDARs are a potential target for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, but drugs targeting them often come with specific psychotic side effects and abuse potential. The compound 7-PhO-THA, with dual inhibitory effects on AChE and NMDARs, shows promise as a therapeutic option.

Structure-activity relationships of dually-acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitors derived from tacrine on N-methyl-D-Aspartate receptors

Lukas Gorecki et al.

Summary: Research shows that tacrine and its derivatives have clinical benefits for neurodegenerative diseases, potentially due to their NMDAR-antagonizing activity. Evaluation of 30 tacrine derivatives revealed varying blocking efficacy on different receptors, pointing towards subtype-specific inhibition of NMDARs.
