Novel inhibitors of cholinesterases, especially butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), were obtained by coupling melatonin-tacrine heterodimers via the carbamate bond. Compounds 14a-i possessed potent cholinesterase inhibitory activity (with IC50 values as low as 1.18 nM for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and 0.24 nM for butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE)). These heterodimers exhibit selectivity toward BuChE, being from 4- to 256-fold more active toward BuChE than AChE, but still acting as better AChE inhibitors than tacrine 4.
通过氨基甲酸酯键将褪黑素-他克林杂合二聚体偶联,获得了新型的胆碱酯酶抑制剂,特别是丁酰胆碱酯酶(BuChE)抑制剂。化合物 14a-i 对乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)和丁酰胆碱酯酶(BuChE)具有很强的抑制活性(IC50 值分别低至 1.18 nM 和 0.24 nM)。这些杂合二聚体对 BuChE 具有选择性,对 BuChE 的活性比 AChE 高 4-256 倍,但仍比他克林 4 对 AChE 的抑制作用更强。
