There has been a substantial research effort to design multi-target ligands for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), an approach that is moved by the knowledge that AD is a complex and multifactorial disease affecting many linked to pathological pathways. Accordingly, we have devoted efforts to develop multi-target ligands based on the chromone scaffold. As a result, a small library of chromone derivatives was synthesized and screened towards human cholinesterases and monoamine oxidases. Compounds 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl (E)-3-(4-oxo-2-(p-methylphenlcarbamoyl)-4H-chromen-6-yl)acrylate (9a) and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl (E)-3-(4-oxo-3-(phenylcarbamoyl)-4H-chromen-6-yl)acrylate (23a) were identified as the most promising multi-target inhibitors of the series. Compound 9a acted as a potent, selective and bifunctional AChEI (IC50 = 0.21 μM, Ki = 0.19 μM) and displayed dual hMAO inhibitory activity (hMAO-A IC50 = 0.94 μM, Ki = 0.057 μM and hMAO-B IC50 = 3.81 μM, Ki = 0.48 μM). Compound 23a acted as a selective IMAO-B (IC50 = 0.63 μM, Ki = 0.34 μM) while still displaying hChE inhibitory and bifunctional activity in the low micromolar range. Overall, these two compounds stand out as reversible multi-target inhibitors with favourable permeability, toxicological and drug-like profiles, thus being valid candidates for subsequent optimization and pre-clinical studies.

A series of chromone and donepezil hybrids were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as multipotent cholinesterase (ChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors for the potential therapy of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In vitro studies showed that the great majority of these compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activity toward BuChE and AChE and clearly selective inhibition for hMAO-B. In particular, compound 5c presented the most balanced potential for ChE inhibition (BuChE: IC50 = 5.24 μM; AChE: IC50 = 0.37 μM) and hMAO-B selectivity (IC50 = 0.272 μM, SI = 247). Molecular modeling and kinetic studies suggested that 5c was a mixed-type inhibitor, binding simultaneously to peripheral and active sites of AChE. It was also a competitive inhibitor, which occupied the substrate and entrance cavities of MAO-B. Moreover, compound 5c could penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and showed low toxicity to rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Altogether, these results indicated that compound 5c might be a hopeful multitarget drug candidate with possible impact on Alzheimer's disease therapy.

Oxidation of chromone-3-carboxaldehyde (CCA) and substituted analogues by H2O2 has been carried out in aqueous acid (HCl and H2SO4) and micellar media. Reaction kinetics indicated order in |CCA| as well as |H2O2| to be unity while it is a fraction (1 > n > O) in |acid|. Reaction rates were found to be faster in the solvents of low-dielectric constant (D). Added salt (KCl or (NH4)2SO4) increased the rate of oxidation marginally. On the basis of observed linearity of Amis plot and marginal positive salt effect, protonated CCA (enol form of CCA, a cation) and H2O2 (neutral molecule) were considered as reactive species in the rate limiting step. Reaction rates were found to be enhanced significantly in anionic and nonionic micellar (sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100 (Tx), respectively) media. However, cationic micelles [cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)| indicated marginal retardation effect. Effect of anionic and cationic micelles has been interpreted in terms of electrostatic interactions, while that of nonionic micelles in terms of hydrophobic interactions. Structure-reactivity correlations have been interpreted by Hammett's equation. Negative "p" (reaction constant) values indicated cationic transition state. 1996 John Wiley &Sons, Inc.
