Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial syndrome with several target proteins contributing to its etiology. To confront AD, an innovative strategy is to design single chemical entities able to simultaneously modulate more than one target. Here, we present compounds that inhibit acetylcholinesterase and NMDA receptor activity. Furthermore, these compounds inhibit AChE-induced Abeta aggregation and display antioxidant properties, emerging as lead candidates for treating AD.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种多因素综合征,有多种靶蛋白参与其病因。为应对AD,一种创新策略是设计能够同时调节多个靶点的单一化学实体。在此,我们展示了抑制乙酰胆碱酯酶和NMDA受体活性的化合物。此外,这些化合物抑制AChE诱导的Aβ聚集并具有抗氧化特性,有望成为治疗AD的先导候选药物。
