Synthesis and evaluation of 6-substituted 3-arylcoumarin derivatives as multifunctional acetylcholinesterase/monoamine oxidase B dual inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
Synthesis and Study of a Series of 3-Arylcoumarins as Potent and Selective Monoamine Oxidase B Inhibitors
摘要:
New series of 6-substituted-3-arylcoumarins displaying several alkyl, hydroxyl, halogen, and alkoxy groups in the two benzene rings have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro as human monoamine cuddase A and B (hMAO-A and hMAO-B) inhibitors. Most of the studied compounds showed a high affinity and selectivity to the hMAO-B isoenzyme, with IC50 values on nanomolar and picomolar range. Ten of the 22 described compounds displayed higher MAO-B inhibitory activity and selectivity than selegiline. Coumarin 7 is the most active compound of this series, being 64 times more active than selegiline and also showing the highest hMAO-B specificity. In addition, docking experiments were carried out on hMAO-A and h-MAO-B structures. This study provided new information about the enzyme inhibitor interaction and the potential therapeutic application of this 3-arylcoumarin scaffold.

In the present work we synthesized a series of hydroxy-3-arylcoumarins (compounds 1-9), some of them previously described as MAO-B selective inhibitors, with the aim of evaluating their antioxidant properties. Theoretical evaluation of ADME properties of all the derivatives was also carried. out. From the ORAC-FL, ESR and CV data it was concluded that these derivatives are very good antioxidants, with a very interesting hydroxyl, DPPH and superoxide radicals scavenging profiles. In particular compound 9 is the most active and effective antioxidant of the series (ORAC-FL = 13.5, capacity of scavenging hydroxyl radicals = 100%, capacity of scavenging DPPH radicals = 65.9% and capacity of scavenging superoxide radicals = 71.5%). Kinetics profile for protection fluorescein probe against peroxyl radicals by addition of antioxidant molecule 9 was also performed. Therefore, it can operate as a potential candidate for preventing or minimizing the free radicals overproduction in oxidative-stress related diseases. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
