Multitarget-Directed Benzylideneindanone Derivatives: Anti-尾-Amyloid (A尾) Aggregation, Antioxidant, Metal Chelation, and Monoamine Oxidase B (MAO-B) Inhibition Properties against Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease
文摘
A novel series of benzylideneindanone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as multitarget-directed ligands against Alzheimer鈥檚 disease. The in vitro studies showed that most of the molecules exhibited a significant ability to inhibit self-induced 尾-amyloid (A尾1鈥?2) aggregation (10.5鈥?0.1%, 20 渭M) and MAO-B activity (IC50 of 7.5鈥?0.5 渭M), to act as potential antioxidants (ORAC-FL value of 2.75鈥?.37), and to function as metal chelators. In particular, compound 41 had the greatest ability to inhibit A尾1鈥?2 aggregation (80.1%), and MAO-B (IC50 = 7.5 渭M) was also an excellent antioxidant and metal chelator. Moreover, it is capable of inhibiting Cu(II)-induced A尾1鈥?2 aggregation and disassembling the well-structured A尾 fibrils. These results indicated that compound 41 is an excellent multifunctional agent for the treatment of AD.
