Synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular modeling of berberine derivatives as potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
摘要:
By targeting the dual active sites of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a new series of berberine derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as AChE inhibitors. Most of the derivatives inhibited AChE in the sub-micromolar range. Compound 8c, berberine linked with phenol by a 4-carbon spacer, showed the most potent inhibition of AChE. A kinetic study of AChE and BuChE indicated that a mix-competitive binding mode existed for these berberine derivatives. Molecular modeling studies confirmed that these hybrids target both the catalytic active site (CAS) and the peripheral anionic site (PAS) of AChE. This is the first report where AChE inhibitory activity has been associated with berberine as a lead molecule. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

we found, may be mediated by a block of the hair cell's mechanoelectrical transducer (MET) channel, the major entry route for the AGs. To understand the full otoprotective potential of carvedilol, a series of 18 analogues were prepared and evaluated for their effect against AG-induced damage as well as their affinity for the MET channel. One derivative was found to confer greater protection than carvedilol
氨基糖苷类 (AG) 是用于治疗严重细菌感染的广谱抗生素,但具有限制使用的副作用,包括不可逆的听力损失。在这里,我们评估了卡维地洛在小鼠耳蜗培养和体内斑马鱼试验中的耳保护特性,并研究了它的保护机制,我们发现这可能是由毛细胞的机电传感器 (MET) 通道(主要进入途径)的阻断介导的对于 AG。为了了解卡维地洛的全部耳部保护潜力,制备了一系列 18 种类似物,并评估了它们对 AG 引起的损伤的作用以及它们对 MET 通道的亲和力。发现一种衍生物在耳蜗培养中比卡维地洛本身具有更大的保护作用,并且与 MET 通道的结合更紧密。

Highlyefficient solution-processable emitters are greatly desired to develop low-cost organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The recently developed thermallyactivateddelayedfluorescence (TADF) materials are promising candidates, but blue TADF materials compatible with the all-solution-process have still not been achieved. Here, a series of TADF materials, named X-4CzCN, are developed by introducing
An anchoring strategy was firstly proposed to generate solution processable TADFemitters from isotropic orientation to horizontal one by attaching bipolar 9,9′-spirobi[fluorene] subunits as anchoring groups onto TADFemitting core via flexible chains. With outstanding characteristics in pristine films, unprecedented EQEmaxs of 30.6 % and 25.6 % were achieved for solution processable non-doped OLEDs

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial syndrome with several target proteins contributing to its etiology. To confront AD, an innovative strategy is to design single chemical entities able to simultaneously modulate more than one target. Here, we present compounds that inhibit acety1cholinesterase and NMDA receptor activity. Furthermore, these compounds inhibit AChE-induced AP aggregation and display antioxidant properties, emerging as lead candidates for treating AD.
