Synthesis, biological assessment and molecular modeling of 14-aryl-10,11,12,14-tetrahydro-9H-benzo[5,6]chromeno[2,3-b]quinolin-13-amines
摘要:
The synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of racemic 14-aryl-10,11,12,14-tetrahydro-9H-benzo[5,6]chromeno[2,3-b]quinolin-13-amines (19-28), prepared by Friedlander reaction of 3-amino-1-aryl-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitriles (10-18) with suitable cycloalkanones is described. These molecules are potent, in the nanomolar range [IC50 (EeAChE) = 7-101 nM], and selective inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The most potent inhibitor, 4-(13-amino-10,11,12,14-tetrahydro-9H-benzo[5,6] chromeno[2,3-b] quinolin-14-yl) phenol (20) [IC50 (EeAChE) = 7 +/- 2 nM] is four-fold more active than tacrine. Kinetic studies on compound 20 showed that this is a mixed-type inhibitor of EeAChE with a K-i of 5.00 nM. However, racemic 20 was unable to displace propidium iodide, suggesting that the inhibitor does not strongly bind to the peripheral anionic site (PAS) of AChE. Docking, molecular dynamics stimulations, and MM-GBSA calculations agree well with this behavior. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The synthesis, toxicity, neuroprotection, and human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) / human butyrylcholinesterase (hBuChE) inhibition properties of beta-naphthotacrines 1-14 as new drugs for Alzheimer's disease (AD) potential treatment, are reported. beta-Naphthotacrines 1-14 showed lower toxicity than tacrine; moreover, at the highest concentration assayed (300 mu M) compounds 7, 10 and 11 displayed 2.25-2.01-fold higher cell viability than tacrine in HepG2 cells. A neuroprotective effect was observed for compounds 10 and 11 in a neuronal cortical culture exposed to a combination of oligomycin A/rotenone. An efficient and selective inhibition of hAChE, was only observed for the beta-naphthotacrines bearing electron-donating substituents at the aromatic ring, beta-naphthotacrine 10 being the most potent (hAChE: IC50 = 0.083 +/- 0.024 mu M). Kinetic inhibition analysis clearly demonstrated that beta-naphthotacrine 10 behaves as a mixed-type inhibitor (K-i2 = 0.72 +/- 0.06 mu M) at high substrate concentrations (0.5-10 mu M), while at low concentrations (0.01-0.1 mu M) it behaves as a hAChE competitive inhibitor (K-i1 = 0.007 +/- 0.001 mu M). These findings identified beta-naphthotacrine 10 as a potent and selective hAChE inhibitor in a nanomolar range, with toxicity lower than that of tacrine both in human hepatocytes and rat cortical neurons, with a potent neuroprotective activity and, consequently, an attractive multipotent active molecule of potential application in AD treatment.
