The synthesis of novel indolopyrazoline derivatives (P1-P4 and Q1-Q4) has been characterized and evaluated as potential anti-Alzheimer agents through in vitro Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition and radical scavenging activity (antioxidant) studies. Specifically, Q3 shows AChE inhibition (IC50: 0.68±0.13μM) with strong DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity (IC50: 13.77±0.25μM and IC50: 12.59±0.21μM), respectively. While P3 exhibited as the second most potent compound with AChE inhibition (IC50: 0.74±0.09μM) and with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity (IC50: 13.52±0.62μM and IC50: 13.13±0.85μM), respectively. Finally, molecular docking studies provided prospective evidence to identify key interactions between the active inhibitors and the AChE that furthermore led us to the identification of plausible binding mode of novel indolopyrazoline derivatives. Additionally, in-silico ADME prediction using QikProp shows that these derivatives fulfilled all the properties of CNS acting drugs. This study confirms the first time reporting of indolopyrazoline derivatives as potential anti-Alzheimer agents.
新型吲哚并吡唑啉衍生物(P1 - P4和Q1 - Q4)的合成已得到表征,并通过体外乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)抑制和自由基清除活性(抗氧化)研究,评估其作为潜在抗阿尔茨海默病药物的可能性。具体而言,Q3表现出AChE抑制作用(IC50:0.68±0.13μM),同时具有较强的DPPH和ABTS自由基清除活性(IC50分别为:13.77±0.25μM和12.59±0.21μM)。而P3是第二强效的化合物,具有AChE抑制作用(IC50:0.74±0.09μM),以及DPPH和ABTS自由基清除活性(IC50分别为:13.52±0.62μM和13.13±0.85μM)。最后,分子对接研究提供了前瞻性证据,以确定活性抑制剂与AChE之间的关键相互作用,进而使我们确定了新型吲哚并吡唑啉衍生物可能的结合模式。此外,使用QikProp进行的计算机辅助ADME预测表明,这些衍生物满足中枢神经系统作用药物的所有特性。本研究首次证实了吲哚并吡唑啉衍生物作为潜在抗阿尔茨海默病药物的报道。
