The study aimed to synthesize and evaluate substituted 4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl phenylcarbamates as
potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors and anti-amnestic agents. The compounds were evaluated for AChE and butyrylcholinesterase
(BuChE) inhibitory activity in rat brain homogenate and plasma, respectively. The most potent test
compound 4d was evaluated for memory testing in scopolamine-induced amnesia. The phenylcarbamate substituted coumarins
(4a-4h) demonstrated more potent AChE inhibitory as compared to parent 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin. The introduction
of phenylcarbamate moiety to coumarin template also significantly increased BuChE inhibitory activity, albeit
less than AChE inhibitory activity with approximate BuChE/AChE selectivity ratio of 20. The compound 4d displayed the
most potent AChE inhibitory activity with IC50 = 13.5 ± 1.7 nM, along with amelioration of amnesia in mice in terms of
restoration of time spent in target quadrant and escap latency time. It is concluded that carbamate derivatives of coumarin
may be employed as potential AChE inhibitors and anti-amnestic agents.
本研究旨在合成并评估取代的4-甲基-2-氧-
2H-色烯-7-基苯基
氨基甲
酸酯类化合物作为有效的
乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)
抑制剂和抗遗忘剂。这些化合物分别在 rat 脑组织匀浆和血浆中评估了其对 AChE 和丁酰
胆碱酯酶(BuChE)的抑制活性。最强的测试化合物 4d 在
东莨菪碱诱导的遗忘症中进行了记忆测试。
苯基氨基甲酸酯取代的
香豆素(4a-4h)相对于母体 7-羟基-4-甲基
香豆素的 AChE 抑制活性更强。将
苯基氨基甲酸酯部分引入
香豆素模板也显著增加了 BuChE 抑制活性,尽管这一活性不及 AChE 抑制活性,大约有 20 的 BuChE/AChE 选择性比。化合物 4d 显示出最强的 AChE 抑制活性,IC50 = 13.5 ± 1.7 nM,并能改善小鼠的遗忘症状,体现在在目标象限停留时间的恢复和逃避延迟时间的缩短。可以得出结论,
