Design and development of multitarget-directed N-Benzylpiperidine analogs as potential candidates for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
摘要:
The multitarget-directed strategy offers an effective and promising paradigm to treat the complex neurodegenerative disorder, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, a series of N-benzylpiperidine analogs (17-31 and 32-46) were designed and synthesized as multi-functional inhibitors of acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) and beta-secretase-1 (BACE-1) with moderate to excellent inhibitory activities. Among the tested inhibitors, 25, 26, 40, and 41 presented the most significant and balanced inhibition against both the targets. Compounds 40 and 41 exhibited high brain permeability in the PAMPA-BBB assay, significant displacement of propidium iodide from the peripheral anionic site (PAS) of AChE, and were devoid of neurotoxicity towards SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell lines up to the maximum tested concentration of 80 mu M. Meanwhile, both these compounds inhibited self- and AChE-induced A beta aggregation in thioflavin T assay, which was also re-affirmed by morphological characterization of All aggregates using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Moreover, 40 and 41 ameliorated the scopolamine induced cognitive impairment in elevated plus and Y-maze experiments. Ex vivo and biochemical analysis established the brain AChE inhibitory potential and antioxidant properties of these compounds. Further, improvement in A beta(1-42)-induced cognitive impairment was also observed by compound 41 in the Morris water maze experiment with significant oral absorption characteristics ascertained by the pharmacokinetic studies.
