A new series of tertiary amine derivatives of chlorochalcone (4a~4l) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for the effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and buthylcholinesterase (BuChE). The results indicated that all compounds revealed moderate or potent inhibitory activity against AChE, and some possessed high selectivity for AChE over BuChE. The structure–activity investigation showed that the substituted position of chlorine significantly influenced the activity and selectivity. The alteration of tertiary amine group also leads to obvious change in bioactivity. Among them, IC50 of compound 4l against AChE was 0.17?±?0.06?µmol/L, and the selectivity was 667.2 fold for AChE over BuChE. Molecular docking and enzyme kinetic study on compound 4l suggested that it simultaneously binds to the catalytic active site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of AChE. Further study showed that the pyrazoline derivatives synthesized from chlorochalcones had weaker activity and lower selectivity in inhibiting AChE compared to that of chlorochalcone derivatives.  相似文献

A series of isaindigotone derivatives and analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated as dual inhibitors of cholinesterases (ChEs) and self-induced β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation. The synthetic compounds had IC(50) values at micro or nano molar range for cholinesterase inhibition, and some compounds exhibited strong inhibitory activity for AChE and high selectivity for AChE over BuChE, which were much better than the isaindigotone derivatives previously reported by our group. Most of these compounds showed higher self-induced Aβ aggregation inhibitory activity than a reference compound curcumin. The structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the derivatives with higher inhibition activity on AChE also showed higher selectivity for AChE over BuChE. Compound 6c exhibiting excellent inhibition for both AChE and self-induced Aβ aggregation was further studied using CD, EM, molecular docking and kinetics.  相似文献

Accompanying the gradual rise in the average age of the population of most industrialized countries is a regrettable progressive rise in the number of individuals afflicted with age-related neurodegenerative disorders, epitomized by Alzheimer's disease (AD) but, additionally, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and stroke. The primary therapeutic strategy, to date, involves the use of cholinesterases inhibitors (ChEIs) to amplify residual cholinergic activity. The enzyme, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), along with other elements of the cholinergic system is depleted in the AD brain. In contrast, however, its sister enzyme, butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), that likewise cleaves acetylcholine (ACh), is elevated and both AChE and BuChE co-localize in high amounts with the classical pathological hallmarks of AD. The mismatch between increased brain BuChE and depleted levels of both ACh and AChE, particularly late in the disease, has supported the design and development of new ChEIs with a preference for BuChE; exemplified by the novel agent, cymserine, whose binding kinetics are characterized for the first time. Specifically, as assessed by the Ellman method, cymserine demonstrated potent concentration-dependent binding with human BuChE. The IC50 was determined as 63 to 100 nM at the substrate concentration range of 25 to 800 microM BuSCh. In addition, the following new binding constants were investigated for human BuChE inhibition by cymserine: T(FPnubeta), K(nubeta), K(Bs), K(MIBA), M(IC50), D(Sc), R(f), (O)K(m), OIC100, K(sl), theta(max) and R(i). These new kinetic constants may open new avenues for the kinetic study of the inhibition of a broad array of other enzymes by a wide variety of inhibitors. In synopsis, cymserine proved to be a potent inhibitor of human BuChE in comparison to its structural analogue, phenserine.  相似文献

Several lines of evidence indicate that inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) is important in the treatment of certain dementias. Further testing of this concept requires inhibitors that are both BuChE-selective and robust. N-alkyl derivatives (2, 3, 4) of phenothiazine (1) have previously been found to inhibit only BuChE in a mechanism involving pi-pi interaction between the phenothiazine tricyclic ring system and aromatic residues in the active site gorge. To explore features of phenothiazines that affect the selectivity and potency of BuChE inhibition, a series of N-carbonyl derivatives (5-25) was synthesized and examined for the ability to inhibit cholinesterases. Some of the synthesized derivatives also inhibited AChE through a different mechanism involving carbonyl interaction within the active site gorge. Binding of these derivatives takes place within the gorge, since this inhibition disappears when the molecular volume of the derivative exceeds the estimated active site gorge volume of this enzyme. In contrast, BuChE, with a much larger active site gorge, exhibited inhibition that increased directly with the molecular volumes of the derivatives. This study describes two distinct mechanisms for binding phenothiazine amide derivatives to BuChE and AChE. Molecular volume was found to be an important parameter for BuChE-specific inhibition.  相似文献

A new series of coumarin‐3‐carboxamide‐N‐morpholine hybrids 5a – 5l was designed and synthesized as cholinesterases inhibitors. The synthetic approach for title compounds was started from the reaction between 2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives and Meldrum's acid to afford corresponding coumarin‐3‐carboxylic acids. Then, amidation of the latter compounds with 2‐morpholinoethylamine or N‐(3‐aminopropyl)morpholine led to the formation of the compounds 5a – 5l . The in vitro inhibition screen against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) revealed that most of the synthesized compounds had potent AChE inhibitory while their BuChE inhibitions are moderate to weak. Among them, propylmorpholine derivative 5g (N‐[3‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)propyl]‐2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxamide) bearing an unsubstituted coumarin moiety and ethylmorpholine derivative 5d (6‐bromo‐N‐[2‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)ethyl]‐2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxamide) bearing a 6‐bromocoumarin moiety showed the most activity against AChE and BuChE, respectively. The inhibitory activity of compound 5g against AChE was 1.78 times more than that of rivastigmine and anti‐BuChE activity of compound 5d is approximately same as rivastigmine. Kinetic and docking studies confirmed the dual binding site ability of compound 5g to inhibit AChE.  相似文献

We recently reported that synthetic derivatives of rutaecarpine alkaloid exhibited high acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity and high selectivity for AChE over butyrylcholinesterases (BuChE). To explore novel effective drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), in this paper, further research results were presented. Starting from a structure-based drug design, a series of novel 2-(2-indolyl-)-4(3H)-quinazolines derivates were designed and synthesized as the ring-opened analogues of rutaecarpine alkaloid and subjected to pharmacological evaluation as AChE inhibitors. Among them, derivates 3a–c and 3g–h exhibited strong inhibitory activity for AChE and high selectivity for AChE over BuChE. The structure–activity relationships were discussed and their binding conformation and simultaneous interactions mode were further clarified by kinetic characterization and the molecular docking studies.  相似文献

A novel series of chalcone derivatives (4a8d) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for the inhibition activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The log P values of the compounds were shown to range from 1.49 to 2.19, which suggested that they were possible to pass blood brain barriers in vivo. The most promising compound 4a (IC50: 4.68 μmol/L) was 2-fold more potent than Rivastigmine against AChE (IC50: 10.54 μmol/L) and showed a high selectivity for AChE over BuChE (ratio: 4.35). Enzyme kinetic study suggested that the inhibition mechanism of compound 4a was a mixed-type inhibition. Meanwhile, the result of molecular docking showed its potent inhibition of AChE and high selectivity for AChE over BuChE.  相似文献

A series of 9-aminoalkanamido-1-azabenzanthrones derviatives (3a-i Ar-NHCO(CH(2))(n)NR(1)R(2)) and their quaternary methiodide salts (4a-g Ar-NHCO(CH(2))(n)N(+)(CH(3))R(1)R(2)I(-)) were designed and synthesized as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) or butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitors. The synthetic compounds exhibited high AChE inhibitory activity with IC(50) values in the nanomolar range and high selectivity for AChE over BuChE (45- to 1980-fold). The structure-activity relationships (SARs) were discussed.  相似文献

In this work, we further investigated a previously introduced class of cholinesterase inhibitors. The removal of the carbamic function from the lead compound xanthostigmine led to a reversible cholinesterase inhibitors 3. Some new 3-[omega-(benzylmethylamino)alkoxy]xanthen-9-one analogs were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The length of the alkoxy chain of compound 3 was increased and different substituents were introduced. From the IC(50) values, it clearly appears that the carbamic residue is crucial to obtain highly potent AChE inhibitors. On the other hand, peculiarity of these compounds is the high selectivity toward BuChE with respect to AChE, being compound 12 the most selective one (6000-fold). The development of selective BuChE inhibitors may be of great interest to clarify the physiological role of this enzyme and to provide novel therapeutics for various diseases.  相似文献

A series of physostigmine analogues were prepared and evaluated for cholinesterase inhibition activities, including acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Most of them showed potent inhibition activities against AChE, in which compound 17 especially exhibited significantly higher selectivity over BChE than phenserine, a compound currently on clinical trial. Discussion about the relationships between structure and activity of these derivatives was also presented.  相似文献

We firstly synthesized derivatives of 6-methyluracil, alloxazine, and xanthine, containing omega-tetraalkylammonium (TAA) groups at the N(1) and N(3) atoms in a pyrimidine cycle and assayed their anticholinesterase activities. Compounds with triethylpentylammoniumalkyl groups behaved as typical reversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (pI(50) 3.20-6.22) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) (pI(50) 3.05-5.71). Compounds, containing two ethyl residues and a substituted benzyl fragment in the tetraalkylammonium group at N(3) atoms or two similar TAA groups at N(1) and N(3) atoms, possessed very high anticholinesterase activity. Although these compounds displayed the activity of typical irreversible AChE inhibitors (a progressive AChE inactivation; k(i) 7.6x10(8) to 3.5x10(9)M(-1)min(-1)), they were reversible inhibitors of BuChE (pI(50) 3.9-6.9). The efficiency of AChE inhibition by some of these compounds was more than 10(4) times higher than the efficiency of BuChE inhibition. Several synthesized TAA derivates of 6-methyluracil reversibly inhibited electric eel and cobra venom AChEs and horse serum BuChE. However, depending on their structure, the tested compounds possessed the time-progressing inhibition of mammalian erythrocyte AChE, typically of irreversible inhibitors. As shown upon dialysis and gel-filtration, the formed mammalian AChE-inhibitor complex was stable. Thus, a new class of highly active, selective, and irreversible inhibitors of mammalian AChE was described. In contrast to classical phosphorylating or carbamoylating AChE inhibitors, these compounds are devoid of acylating functions. Probably, these inhibitors interact with certain amino acid residues at the entrance to the active-site gorge.  相似文献

Organophosphorus pesticides (e.g. chlorpyrifos, malathion, and parathion) and nerve agents (sarin, tabun, and VX) are highly toxic organophosphorus compounds with strong inhibition potency against two key enzymes in the human body—acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE; EC 3.1.1.8). Subsequent accumulation of acetylcholine at synaptic clefts can result in cholinergic crisis and possible death of intoxicated organism. For the recovery of inhibited AChE, derivatives from the group of pyridinium or bispyridinium aldoximes (called oximes) are used. Their efficacy depends on their chemical structure and also type of organophosphorus inhibitor. In this study, we have tested potency of selected cholinesterase reactivators (pralidoxime, obidoxime, trimedoxime, methoxime and H-oxime HI-6) to reactivate human erythrocyte AChE and human plasma BuChE inhibited by pesticide paraoxon. For this purpose, modified Ellman's method was used and two different concentrations of oximes (10 and 100 μM), attainable in the plasma within antidotal treatment of pesticide intoxication were tested. Results demonstrated that obidoxime (96.8%) and trimedoxime (86%) only reached sufficient reactivation efficacy in case of paraoxon-inhibited AChE. Other oximes evaluated did not surpassed more than 25% of reactivation. In the case of BuChE reactivation, none of tested oximes surpassed 12.5% of reactivation. The highest reactivation efficacy was achieved for trimedoxime (12.4%) at the concentration 100 μM. From the data obtained, it is clear that only two from currently available oximes (obidoxime and trimedoxime) are good reactivators of paraoxon-inhibited AChE. In the case of BuChE, none of these reactivators could be used for its reactivation.  相似文献

A series of hybrids containing tacrine linked to carbohydrate-based moieties, such as d-xylose, d-ribose, and d-galactose derivatives, were synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution between 9-aminoalkylamino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridines and the corresponding sugar-based tosylates. All compounds were found to be potent inhibitors of both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) in the nanomolar IC50 scale. Most of the d-xylose derivatives (6a-e) were selective for AChE and the compound 6e (IC50?=?2.2?nM for AChE and 4.93?nM for BuChE) was the most active compound for both enzymes. The d-galactose derivative 8a was the most selective for AChE exhibiting an IC50 ratio of 7.6 for AChE over BuChE. Only two compounds showed a preference for BuChE, namely 7a (d-ribose derivative) and 6b (d-xylose derivative). Molecular docking studies indicated that the inhibitors are capable of interacting with the entire binding cavity and the main contribution of the linker is to enable the most favorable positioning of the two moieties with CAS, PAS, and hydrophobic pocket to provide optimal interactions with the binding cavity. This finding is reinforced by the fact that there is no linear correlation between the linker size and the observed binding affinities. The majority of the new hybrids synthesized in this work do not violate the Lipinski's rule-of-five according to FAF-Drugs4, and do not demonstrated predicted hepatotoxicity according ProTox-II.  相似文献

The rate and duration of inhibition of recombinant human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and human butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) by nine N-methyl,N-alkyl derivatives of (R)-3-prop-2-ynylamino-indan, designed as potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease, was obtained from measurement of the carbamylation k(i) and decarbamylation k(3) rate constants. This also provided information about the rate of formation of the leaving group, 6-OH-(R)-3-prop-2-ynylamino-indan, designed as an MAO-B inhibitor with neuroprotective activity. The N-dimethyl derivative had the highest k(i) of the alkyl derivatives. Substitution of one N-methyl by N-ethyl resulted in a 14-fold decrease in k(i) and 28-fold decrease in k(3). A progressive increase in k(i) occurred as the length of the alkyl chain progressed from propyl to n-hexyl and cyclo-hexyl, with relatively little or no increase in k(3). Higher k(i) values than that of the dimethyl analogue were obtained with the N-aryl substitutes, N-phenyl and N-methoxy-phenyl. Six of the compounds had much higher k(i) values for BuChE than AChE, but the N-cyclo-hexyl and N-methoxy-phenyl compounds were inactive. However, an inverse relation was found between k(i) and the degree of brain AChE inhibition ex vivo after parenteral administration of the compounds in rats. This could have resulted from more rapid hydrolysis of the compounds with high k(i) values by esterases in blood and liver. Only the N-ethyl and N-propyl derivatives showed AChE and BuChE inhibitory activity in vivo of a suitably slow onset and long duration, together with MAO-B inhibition.  相似文献

Trypanosoma cruzi infection triggers an intense production of pro-inflammatory cytokines mediated by T helper 1 lymphocytes, inducing the anti-inflammatory reflex of acetylcholine (ACh). The ACh concentration modulation is associated to the two major esterases, the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). AChE H353N protein polymorphism is related to low Chagas chronic disease prognostic. In order to evaluate the correlation of plasmatic BuChE concentration and the presence of AChE H353N polymorphism in Chagas disease patients and healthy individuals, we studied two groups of individuals, one of 61 Chagas disease patients and another of 74 healthy individuals. Plasma concentration of BuChE was measured by the chemiluminescent method and AChE H353N polymorphism was investigated by PCR-RFLP and sequencing of the respective encoding AChE gene fragment. The BuChE concentration was statistically higher in Chagas disease patients, with no AChE genotype significant influence. AChE genotypes YT*A/YT*A, YT*A/YT*B and YT*B/YT*B, respectively, were expressed in 53 (86.88%), 7 (11.46%) and one (1.64%) chagasic patients, and in 68 (91.89%), 6 (8.10%) and none healthy individuals. BuChE activity may represent an important marker for chronic Chagas disease inflammatory process and prognostic. Lower BuChE concentration correlated with AChE YT*B allele, although without statistical power.  相似文献

Chalcones and chalcone epoxides are important synthetic intermediates in organic and medicinal chemistry. Chalcones possess a broad spectrum of biological activities; however, 1,3‐diphenyl‐2‐propenone or chalcone has not been given the attention it deserve as its substituted derivatives. In this study, the inhibition effects of chalcone and its epoxidated derivative chalcone epoxide against human carbonic anhydrase isozymes I and II (hCA I and hCA II), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) were evaluated. The results obtained showed that both compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activity, with IC50 values less than 10 µM. IC 50 values in the submicromolar (hCA I and hCA II) to low micromolar range (AChE and BuChE) were observed for both compounds. The mechanism of inhibition and the inhibitory constants ( K i values) for each compound were also determined. Furthermore, chalcone epoxide was docked within the active sites of hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and BuChE to explore its binding mode with the enzymes.  相似文献

The effects of single and repeated injections of tetramonoisopropyl pyrophosphortetramide (iso-OMPA), a selective inactivator of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), were studied on the ganglionic and muscular levels of BuChE and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in cats during the steady state and following the irreversible inactivation of both enzymes by isopropylmethylphosphonofluoridate (sarin). Single intravenous injections of iso-OMPA, 3.0 or 6.0 μmol/kg, produced nearly total inactivation of BuChE with no immediate effect on the AChE of the superior cervical (SCG), stellate (StG), and ciliary (CG) ganglia and inferior oblique (10) muscle; regeneration of BuChE occurred at approximately the same rate in the three ganglia, and at 4–6 days the AChE levels were significantly elevated. When single doses of iso-OMPA were given 1 h following sarin, 2.0 μmol/kg, intravenously, there was a slight increase in the rate of AChE regeneration during the ensuing 2 days. With the repeated injection of iso-OMPA, 3.0 μmol/kg every 48 h, there was a consistent but not statistically significant reduction in AChE regeneration at 4, 6, 12, and 18 days following sarin in all 3 ganglia. Similar treatment with iso-OMPA alone produced significant increases in ganglionic AChE at all these periods excepting the longest. The daily injection of iso-OMPA for 6 days, which maintained ganglionic BuChE at approx 2% of the control values, produced significant reductions in AChE regeneration, but again significant increases in ganglionic AChE levels in cats that did not receive sarin. The IO muscle did not exhibit these effects. A working hypothesis is proposed, that BuChE is a precursor of ganglionic AChE, and that the level of BuChE participates in the regulation of AChE synthesis by inhibition of a preceding rate-limiting step.  相似文献

In order to study the structure–activity relationship of Flavokawain B Mannich-based derivatives as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors in our recent investigation, 20 new nitrogen-containing chalcone derivatives (4?a–8d) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for AChE inhibitory activity in vitro. The results suggested that amino alkyl side chain of chalcone dramatically influenced the inhibitory activity against AChE. Among them, compound 6c revealed the strongest AChE inhibitory activity (IC50 value: 0.85?μmol/L) and the highest selectivity against AChE over BuChE (ratio: 35.79). Enzyme kinetic study showed that the inhibition mechanism of compound 6c against AChE was a mixed-type inhibition. The molecular docking assay showed that this compound can both bind with the catalytic site and the peripheral site of AChE.  相似文献

A series of 4-phthalimidobenzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for the inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). Structures of the title compounds were confirmed by spectral and elemental analyses. The cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitory activity studies were carried out using Ellman’s colorimetric method. The biological activity results revealed that all of the title compounds (except for compound 8) displayed high selectivity against AChE. Among the tested compounds, compound 7 was found to be the most potent against AChE (IC50=?1.35?±?0.08?μM), while compound 3 exhibited the highest inhibition against BuChE (IC50=?13.41?±?0.62?μM). Molecular docking studies of the most active compound 7 in AChE showed that this compound can interact with both the catalytic active site (CAS) and the peripheral anionic site (PAS) of AChE.  相似文献

Synopsis Sections of ovary from plains viscacha, cat, ferret, rabbit, rat, guinea-pig and roe deer have been histochemically processed to demonstrate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) in nervous and non-nervous tissue. The effects of different reproductive states on enzyme activity were observed in some animals. AChE-containing nerves were sparse in rabbit and rat but plentiful in cat and roe deer. Nerves containing BuChE were not detectable in ferret or guinea-pig and were rare in cat. Species variations in the activity and type of enzyme were also found in non-neuronal tissues. Some blood vessels in the ovaries of guinea-pig and viscacha contained AChE. No other species showed a reaction for AChE in non-neuronal stromal tissue but BuChE was present at this site in all animals except rat. Granulosa cells reacted for AChE only in cat and rabbit while luteal cells were reactive in cat, rabbit and roe deer. Some BuChE activity was present in granulosa and or luteal cells in all species except roe deer. In rat, BuChE activity in luteal cells increased during oregnaney and the early phase of pseudopregnancy. The difficulty of assigning a function to ovarian cholinesterases is discussed.  相似文献
