Gx-50 is a bioactive compound for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) found in Sichuan pepper (). In order to find a stronger anti-AD lead compound, 20 gx-50 (⁻) analogs have been designed and synthesized, and their molecular structures were determined based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, as well as comparison with literature data. Compounds ⁻ were evaluated for their anti-AD potential by using DPPH radical scavenging assay for considering their anti-oxidant activity, thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence assay for considering the inhibitory or disaggregate potency of A, and transgenic model assay for evaluating their rescue effect on memory loss. Finally, compound was determined as a promising anti-AD candidate.
Gx-50 是一种从四川花椒()中提取的治疗阿尔茨海默病(AD)的生物活性化合物。为了寻找更强的抗 AD 先导化合物,设计并合成了 20 种 Gx-50(⁻)类似物,根据核磁共振(NMR)和质谱(MS)分析以及与文献数据的比较,确定了它们的分子结构。通过 DPPH 自由基清除实验评估化合物 ⁻ 的抗氧化活性,通过噻唑蓝(ThT)荧光实验评估化合物对 A 的抑制或解聚能力,通过转基因 模型实验评估化合物对记忆丧失的挽救作用,从而评估其抗 AD 潜力。最终,化合物 被确定为有希望的抗 AD 候选物。
