Amyloid β (Aβ) aggregation inhibitor activity cliff involving a curcumin structure was predicted using the SAR Matrix method on the basis of 697 known Aβ inhibitors from ChEMBL (data set 2487). Among the compounds predicted, compound B was found to possess approximately 100 times higher inhibitory activity toward Aβ aggregation than curcumin. TEM images indicate that compound B induced the shortening of Aβ fibrils and increased the generation of Aβ oligomers in a concentration dependent manner. Furthermore, compound K, in which the methyl ester of compound B was replaced by the tert-butyl ester, possessed low cytotoxicity on N2A cells and attenuated Aβ-induced cytotoxicity, indicating that compound K would have an ability for preventing neurotoxicity caused by Aβ aggregation.
基于 ChEMBL(数据集 2487)中 697 种已知的 Aβ 抑制剂,使用 SAR Matrix 方法预测了涉及姜黄素结构的淀粉样蛋白β(Aβ)聚集抑制剂活性悬崖。在所预测的化合物中,发现化合物 B 对 Aβ 聚集的抑制活性大约比姜黄素高 100 倍。TEM 图像表明,化合物 B 以浓度依赖的方式诱导 Aβ 纤维缩短并增加 Aβ 寡聚物的生成。此外,化合物 K,其中化合物 B 的甲酯被叔丁酯取代,对 N2A 细胞具有低细胞毒性,并减弱了 Aβ 诱导的细胞毒性,表明化合物 K 具有预防由 Aβ 聚集引起的神经毒性的能力。
