Twelve pyridazinones (T1–T12) containing the (2-fluorophenyl) piperazine moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for monoamine oxidase (MAO) -A and -B inhibitory activities. T6 was found to be the most potent MAO-B inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.013 µM, followed by T3 (IC50 = 0.039 µM). Inhibitory potency for MAO-B was more enhanced by meta bromo substitution (T6) than by para bromo substitution (T7). For para substitution, inhibitory potencies for MAO-B were as follows: -Cl (T3) > -N(CH3)2 (T12) > -OCH3 (T9) > Br (T7) > F (T5) > -CH3 (T11) > -H (T1). T6 and T3 efficiently inhibited MAO-A with IC50 values of 1.57 and 4.19 µM and had the highest selectivity indices (SIs) for MAO-B (120.8 and 107.4, respectively). T3 and T6 were found to be reversible and competitive inhibitors of MAO-B with Ki values of 0.014 and 0.0071, respectively. Moreover, T6 was less toxic to healthy fibroblast cells (L929) than T3. Molecular docking simulations with MAO binding sites returned higher docking scores for T6 and T3 with MAO-B than with MAO-A. These results suggest that T3 and T6 are selective, reversible, and competitive inhibitors of MAO-B and should be considered lead candidates for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.
设计、合成和评估了含有(2-氟苯基)哌嗪基团的十二种吡啶并嗪酮(T1-T12),用于单胺氧化酶(MAO)-A和-B的抑制活性。发现T6是最强的MAO-B抑制剂,IC50值为0.013 µM,其次是T3 (IC50 = 0.039 µM)。对于MAO-B的抑制效力,通过间位溴取代 (T6) 比对位溴取代 (T7) 更增强。对于对位取代,MAO-B的抑制效力如下:-Cl (T3) > -N(CH3)2 (T12) > -OCH3 (T9) > Br (T7) > F (T5) > -CH3 (T11) > -H (T1)。T6和T3有效抑制MAO-A,IC50值分别为1.57和4.19 µM,并且对MAO-B具有最高的选择性指数(SIs) (分别为120.8和107.4)。T3和T6被发现是MAO-B的可逆和竞争性抑制剂,其Ki值分别为0.014和0.0071。此外,T6对健康成纤维细胞(L929)的毒性较T3低。与MAO结合位点的分子对接模拟显示,T6和T3在与MAO-B的对接评分高于与MAO-A。这些结果表明,T3和T6是MAO-B的选择性、可逆和竞争性抑制剂,应被视为治疗像阿尔茨海默病这样的神经退行性疾病的首要候选药物。
