Among them, compounds 7a 7h showed significant potency 0.02 respectively....
Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a significant public health challenge due to its progressive cognitive impairment and the absence of proven treatments. In this study, several novel 1,2,3-triazole-methoxyphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized evaluated for their ability inhibit key enzymes associated with AD: acetylcholinesterase (AChE) butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that featuring electron-withdrawing groups, particularly...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cholinergic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and memory impairment. The Salvia genus has been used since ancient times for its anti-inflammatory neuroprotective properties. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of aristata hydroalcoholic extract (SAHE) dichloromethane (SADE) on various aspects AD. Column chromatography was utilized in phytochemical analysis isolate purify...
Abstract In search of safer tacrine analogs, various thieno[2,3‐ b ]pyridine amine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against cholinesterases (ChEs). Among the compounds, compounds 5e 5d showed highest towards acetylcholinesterase butyrylcholinesterase, with IC 50 values 1.55 0.23 µM, respectively. The most active ChE inhibitors ( ) also candidates further complementary assays, such as kinetic molecular docking studies well on amyloid‐beta (βA)...
The plants from Salvia genus contain widely distributed species which have been used in folk medicine as well pharmaceutical and food industries.The chemical composition of 12 native Iranian (14 plants) was identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Also, the inhibitory activity all essential oils (EOs) evaluated toward α-glucosidase two types cholinesterase (ChE) spectrophotometric methods. vitro inhibition assay performed by determination p-nitrophenol (pNP) obtained...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a well-known neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions of old people worldwide and the corresponding epidemiological data emphasize importance disease. As AD multifactorial illness, various single target directed drugs that have reached clinical trials failed. Therefore, factors associated with outset been considered in targeted drug discovery. In this work, benzochromenoquinolinones were synthesized evaluated for their cholinesterase BACE1 inhibitory...
In order to develop effective anti-cholinesterase compounds, a novel series of pyrano[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-b]quinolinones were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) butyrylcholinesterase (BChE).
