Aminobenzimidazoles and Structural Isomers as Templates for Dual-Acting Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors and<i>h</i>CB<sub>2</sub>R Ligands To Combat Neurodegenerative Disorders
A pharmacophore model for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors was applied to a human cannabinoid subtype 2 receptor (hCB2R) agonist and verified it as a first‐generation lead for respective dual‐acting compounds. The design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of various derivatives led to the identification of aminobenzimidazoles as second‐generation leads with micro‐ or sub‐micromolar activities
Structure–Activity Relationships and Computational Investigations into the Development of Potent and Balanced Dual-Acting Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors and Human Cannabinoid Receptor 2 Ligands with Pro-Cognitive in Vivo Profiles
e (BChE) and the human cannabinoid receptor2 (hCB2R) represent promising targets for pharmacotherapy in the later stages of Alzheimer’s disease. We merged pharmacophores for both targets into small benzimidazole-based molecules, investigated SARs, and identified several dual-acting ligands with a balanced affinity/inhibitory activity and an excellent selectivity over both hCB1R and hAChE. A homology
