Design, synthesis and structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives: Dual activity as cholinesterase and Aβ-aggregation inhibitors
摘要:
A novel class of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines (7a-u, 8a-f, 9a-e) that possess substituents with varying steric and electronic properties at the C-2 and C-4 positions, were designed, synthesized and evaluated as dual cholinesterase and amyloid-beta (A beta)-aggregation inhibitors. In vitro screening identified N-(naphth-1-ylmethyl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine (9a) as the most potent AChE inhibitor (IC50 = 5.5 mu M). Among this class of compounds, 2-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-N-(naphth-1-ylmethyl) pyrimidin-4-amine (9e) was identified as the most potent and selective BuChE inhibitor (IC50 = 2.2 mu M, selectivity index = 11.7) and was about 5.7-fold more potent compared to the commercial, approved reference drug galanthamine (BuChE IC50 = 12.6 mu M). In addition, the selective AChE inhibitor N-benzyl-2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine (7d), exhibited good inhibition of hAChE-induced aggregation of A beta(1-40) fibrils (59% inhibition). Furthermore, molecular modeling studies indicate that a central pyrimidine ring serves as a suitable template to develop dual inhibitors of cholinesterase and AChE-induced A beta aggregation thereby targeting multiple pathological routes in AD.

A group of 2,4-disubstitutedpyrimidine derivatives (7a–e, 8a–e and 9a–d) that possess a variety of C-2 aliphatic five- and six-membered heterocycloalkyl ring in conjunction with a C-4 arylalkylamino substituent were designed, synthesized and evaluated as cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors. The steric and electronic properties at C-2 and C-4 positions of the pyrimidine ring were varied to investigate
