Donepezil (DNP), an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, is one of the most preferred choices in Alzheimer diseases (AD) therapy. In the present study, 38 new DNP analogues were synthesized. Structures of the synthesized compounds (1-38) were elucidated by IR, H NMR, C NMR and HRMS spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. Inhibitory potential of the compounds on cholinesterase enzymes was investigated. None of the compounds displayed significant activity on butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzyme. On the other hand, compounds 26-29 indicated important inhibitory activity on AChE enzyme. Kinetic studies were performed in order to observe the effects of the most active compounds on substrate-enzyme relationship. Cytotoxicity studies and theoretical calculation of pharmacokinetic properties were also carried out to get an information about toxicity and pharmacokinetic profiles of the compounds. The compounds 26-29 were found to be nontoxic at their effective concentrations against AChE. A good pharmacokinetic profile was predicted for these compounds. Docking studies were performed for the most active compounds 26-29 and interaction modes with enzyme active sites were determined. Docking studies revealed that there is a strong interaction between the active sites of AChE enzyme and analyzed compounds.
多奈哌齐(DNP)是一种乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)抑制剂,是阿尔茨海默病(AD)治疗中最受欢迎的选择之一。在本研究中,合成了 38 种新的 DNP 类似物。通过红外光谱(IR)、核磁共振氢谱(H NMR)、核磁共振碳谱(C NMR)和高分辨率质谱(HRMS)光谱方法和元素分析阐明了合成化合物(1-38)的结构。研究了化合物对胆碱酯酶的抑制潜力。没有一种化合物对丁酰胆碱酯酶(BChE)表现出显著的活性。另一方面,化合物 26-29 对 AChE 酶表现出重要的抑制活性。进行了动力学研究,以观察最活性化合物对底物-酶关系的影响。还进行了细胞毒性研究和药物代谢动力学性质的理论计算,以获取有关化合物毒性和药物代谢动力学特征的信息。在有效浓度下,化合物 26-29 对 AChE 无毒性。这些化合物具有良好的药物代谢动力学特征。对最活性化合物 26-29 进行了对接研究,并确定了与酶活性部位的相互作用模式。对接研究表明,AChE 酶的活性部位与分析化合物之间存在很强的相互作用。
