Amyloid beta (A beta) and cholinesterase enzymes (AChE, BuChE) are important biological targets for the effective treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, the aim was to synthesize new donepezil-like secondary amide compounds that display a potent inhibition of cholinesterases and A beta with antioxidant and metal chelation abilities. All test compounds showed activities against both ChEs and beta(1-42) inhibition. The most encouraging compound, 20, is an AChE inhibitor with high anti-aggregation activity (55.3%). Based on the results, compound 20 may be a promising structure in further research for new anti-Alzheimer's agents. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
