terpenoids and possess excellent anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic activities etc. In the present study, the different thiazoles and oxazoles bearing lupeol derivatives were prepared to enhance their biological activity. Initially, the in vitro cytotoxic activity results showed that the synthesized lupeol derivatives (9a–9j and 10a–10e) showed significant activity against various cancer cells
This study aimed to synthesize aminothiazole derivatives with 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety and evaluated their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and antioxidant activity in order to check their potency against Alzheimer's disease. Inhibition screening against AChE indicated that synthesized derivatives expressed well to moderate AChE inhibitory activity in vitro. Of the examined synthetic compounds (3a-i), compound 3d expressed the best inhibition with IC50-0.35 µM. The antioxidant activity of all the synthesized compounds was also analyzed by the DPPH assay. Finally, in molecular docking analysis, the best docking score was displayed by the most active compound 3d supported the in vitro inhibition results. Compound 3d emerged to be promising lead for the further development of anti- Alzheimer’s drugs.
