Synthesis and biological evaluation of benzochromenopyrimidinones as cholinesterase inhibitors and potent antioxidant, non-hepatotoxic agents for Alzheimer’s disease
We report herein the straightforward two-step synthesis and biological assessment of novel racemic benzochromenopyrimidinones as non-hepatotoxic, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors with antioxidative properties. Among them, compound 3Bb displayed a mixed-type inhibition of human acetylcholinesterase (IC50 = 1.28 ± 0.03 μM), good antioxidant activity, and also proved to be non-hepatotoxic on human HepG2 cell line.JMC thanks Government of Spain for support (SAF2016-65586-R), JJ and OS thank

Synthesis and biological assessment of racemic benzochromenopyrimidinetriones as promising agents for Alzheimer's disease therapy
International audienceAim: Due to the complex nature of Alzheimer's disease, there is a renewed search for multitarget directed drugs. Results: This paper describes the synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation of six racemic 13-aryl-2,3,4,13-tetrahydro-1H,12H-benzo[6,7]chromeno[2,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-7,12,14-triones (1a–6a), and six racemic 15-aryl-8,9,10,11,12,15-hexahydro-14H-benzo[6′,7′]chromeno[2′,3:4,5] pyr-imido [1,2-a]azepine-5,14,16-triones (1b–6b), showing antioxidant and cholinesterase inhibitory capacity. Among these compounds, 13-phenyl-2,3,4,13-tetrahydro-1H,12H-benzo[6,7]chromeno[2,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-7,12,14-trione (1a) is a nonhepatotoxic at 300 μmol/l dose concentration, and a selective EeAChE inhibitor showing good antioxidant power. Conclusion: A new family of racemic benzochromenopyrimidinetriones has been investigated for their potential use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
Synthesis, Biological Assessment and Molecular Modeling of Racemic QuinoPyranoTacrines for Alzheimer's Disease Therapy
In this report we describe the synthesis, biological evaluation
and molecular modeling of new tacrine analogues such as
QuinoPyranTacrines (QPTs), designed by juxtaposition of 1,4-
naphthoquinone and tacrine. From these results we have
identified QPT16 as a permeable, selective human acetylcholinesterase
inhibitor [IC50= 1.1 0.15 mM], 3.5-fold less-hepatotoxic
than tacrine at 1000 mM concentration, and consequently,
a potential new hit-compound for further investigation targeted
to find a new agent for AD therapy.LI thanks the Regional Council of Franche-Comte (2016YC-04540

Synthesis and biological assessment of KojoTacrines as new agents for Alzheimer’s disease therapy
In view of the multifactorial nature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), multitarget small molecules (MTSM) represent the most potent and attractive therapeutic strategy to design new drugs for Alzheimer’s disease therapy. The new MTSM KojoTacrines (KTs) were designed and synthesized by juxtaposition of selected pharmacophoric motifs from kojic acid and tacrine. Among them, 11-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-12-(3-methoxyphenyl)-7,9,10,12-tetrahydropyrano [2',3':5,6] pyrano[2,3-b]quinolin-4(8H)-one (KT2d) was identified as less-hepatotoxic than tacrine, at higher concentration, a moderate, but selective human acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 = 4.52 ± 0.24 µM), as well as an antioxidant agent (TE = 4.79) showing significant neuroprotection against Aβ1–40 at 3 µM and 10 µM concentrations. Consequently, KT2d is a potential new hit-ligand for AD therapy for further biological exploration
