Synthesis, biological evaluation of 9-N-substituted berberine derivatives as multi-functional agents of antioxidant, inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and amyloid-β aggregation
摘要:
A series of 9-N-substituted berberine derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated as antioxidant and inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase and amyloid-beta aggregation. Most of these compounds exhibited very good antioxidant activities, inhibitive activities of AChE and amyloid-beta aggregation. Among them, compound 8d, (o-methylphenethyl)amino linked at the 9-position of berberine, was found to be a good antioxidant (with 4.05 mu M of Trolox equivalents), potent inhibitor of AChE (an IC50 value of 0.027 mu M), and high active inhibitor of amyloid-beta aggregation (an IC50 value of 2.73 mu M).

A series of 9-N-substituted berberine derivatives (2a-j) were synthesized and evaluated as a new class of G-quadruplex binding ligands. G-quadruplex of DNA had been proven to be the transcription controller of human c-myc gene. The interaction of 9-N-substituted berberine derivatives with G-quadruplex DNA in c-myc was examined via EMSA, CD spectroscopy, FRET-melting method, PCR-stop assay, competitive dialysis, cell proliferation assay and RT-PCR assay. The experiment results indicated that these derivatives could selectively induce and stabilize the formation of intramolecular parallel G-quadruplex in c-myc, which led to down-regulation of transcription of the c-myc in the HL60 lymphomas cell line. The related structure-activity relationships were also discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
