Therapeutic potential of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles as potential lead compounds for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Monoamine oxidase and cholinesterase enzymes are important targets for the treatment of several neurological diseases especially depression, Parkinson disease and Alzheimer's. Here, we report the synthesis and testing of new 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as novel inhibitors of monoamine oxidase...

Sumario:Monoamine oxidase and cholinesterase enzymes are important targets for the treatment of several neurological diseases especially depression, Parkinson disease and Alzheimer's. Here, we report the synthesis and testing of new 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as novel inhibitors of monoamine oxidase enzymes (MAO-A and MAO-B) and cholinesterase enzymes (acetyl and butyryl cholinesterase (AChE, BChE). Compounds 4c, 4d, 4e, 4g, 4j, 4k, 4m, 4n displayed promising inhibitory effects on MAO-A (IC(50): 0.11–3.46 μM), MAO-B (IC(50): 0.80–3.08 μM) and AChE (IC(50): 0.83–2.67 μM). Interestingly, compounds 4d, 4e and 4g are multitargeting MAO-A/B and AChE inhibitors. Also, Compound 4m displayed promising MAO-A inhibition with IC(50) of 0.11 μM and high selectivity (∼25-fold) over MAO-B and AChE enzymes. These newly synthesized analogues represent promising hits for the development of promising lead compounds for neurological disease treatment.
