Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modeling of benzofuran piperidine derivatives as Aβ antiaggregant.
A series of benzofuran piperidine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as multifunctional Aβ antiaggregant to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). In vitro results revealed that all of them are very good Aβ antiaggregants and some of the compounds are potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors with moderate antioxidant property. Selected compounds were also tested for neuroprotection activity, LDH release, ATP production and inhibitory activity to prevent Aβ peptides binding to the cell membrane. The different modifications introduced in the structure of our lead compound 3 (hAChE IC Topics: Acetylcholinesterase; Alzheimer Disease; Amyloid beta-Peptides; Benzofurans; Cholinesterase Inhibitors; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Humans; Models, Molecular; Molecular Structure; Neuroprotective Agents; Piperidines; Protein Aggregates; Protein Aggregation, Pathological; Structure-Activity Relationship | 2021 |
Aminostyrylbenzofuran derivatives as potent inhibitors for Abeta fibril formation.
The synthesis of a novel series of aminostyrylbenzofuran derivatives 1a-w and their inhibitory activities for Abeta fibril formation were described. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated by thioflavin T (ThT) assay and displayed potent inhibitory activities for Abeta fibril formation. Among them, compounds 1i and 1q exhibited excellent inhibitory activities (IC(50)=0.07 and 0.08 microM, respectively) than those of Curcumin (IC(50)=0.80 microM) and IMSB (IC(50)=8.00 microM) as reference compounds. Both compounds were selected as promising candidates for further biological evaluation.
