Abstract: | Excitotoxicty, a key pathogenic event is characteristic of the onset and development of neurodegeneration. The glutamatergic neurotransmission mediated through different glutamate receptor subtypes plays a pivotal role in the onset of excitotoxicity. The role of NMDA receptor (NMDAR), a glutamate receptor subtype, has been well established in the excitotoxicity pathogenesis. NMDAR overactivation triggers excessive calcium influx resulting in excitotoxic neuronal cell death. In the present study, a series of benzazepine derivatives, with the core structure of 3-methyltetrahydro-3H-benzazepin-2-one, were synthesised in our laboratory and their NMDAR antagonist activity was determined against NMDA-induced excitotoxicity using SH-SY5Y cells. In order to assess the multi-target-directed potential of the synthesised compounds, Aβ1–42 aggregation inhibitory activity of the most potent benzazepines was evaluated using thioflavin T (ThT) and Congo red (CR) binding assays as Aβ also imparts toxicity, at least in part, through NMDAR overactivation. Furthermore, neuroprotective, free radical scavenging, anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic activities of the two potential test compounds (7 and 14) were evaluated using primary rat hippocampal neuronal culture against Aβ1–42-induced toxicity. Finally, in vivo neuroprotective potential of 7 and 14 was assessed using intracerebroventricular (ICV) rat model of Aβ1–42-induced toxicity. All of the synthesised benzazepines have shown significant neuroprotection against NMDA-induced excitotoxicity. The most potent compound (14) showed relatively higher affinity for the glycine binding site as compared with the glutamate binding site of NMDAR in the molecular docking studies. 7 and 14 have been shown experimentally to abrogate Aβ1–42 aggregation efficiently. Additionally, 7 and 14 showed significant neuroprotective, free radical scavenging, anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic properties in different in vitro and in vivo experimental models. Finally, 7 and 14 attenuated Aβ1–42-induced tau phosphorylation by abrogating activation of tau kinases, i.e. MAPK and GSK-3β. Thus, the results revealed multi-target-directed potential of some of the synthesised novel benzazepines against excitotoxicity. |
