Abstract

Background: Since deficit of acetylcholine has been evidenced in the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, cholinesterase inhibitors are currently the most specified drug category for the remediation of AD.

Method: In the present study, 16 compounds (1-16) with dicarbonyl skeletons have been synthesized and tested for their inhibitory potential in vitro against AChE and BChE using ELISA microtiter plate assays at 100 μg/mL. Since metal accumulation is related to AD, the compounds were also tested for their metal-chelation capacity.

Results and Conclusion: All the investigated dicarbonyl compounds exerted none or lower than 30% inhibition against both cholinesterases, whereas compounds 2, 8 and 11 showed 37, 42, 41% of inhibition towards BChE, being the most active. The highest metal-chelation capacity was observed with compound 8 (53.58 ± 2.06%). POM and DFT analyses are in good harmonization with experimental data.

Keywords: β-Amino dicarbonyl, cholinesterase inhibition, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), DFT calculations, Petra/Osiris/ Molinspiration (POM) analysis, in vitro.
