Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Coumarin Derivatives Tethered to an Edrophonium‐like Fragment as Highly Potent and Selective Dual Binding Site Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors

Abstract: A large series of substituted coumarins linked through an appropriate spacer to 3-hydroxy-N,N-dimethylanilino or 3-hydroxy-N,N,N-trialkylbenzaminium moieties were synthesized and evaluated as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors. The highest AChE inhibitory potency in the 3-hydroxy-N,N-dimethylanilino series was observed with a 6,7-dimethoxy-3-substituted coumarin derivative, which, along with an outstanding affinity (IC(50)=0.236 nM) exhibits excellent AChE/BChE selectivity … Show more

“…Preliminary results confirmed [12] the tetramethylene linker as the optimal spacer between the two moieties interacting at the catalytic and the peripheral binding site (PAS) of AChE. Then, our attention was focused on the 7-substituted-1,4-dimethylquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives 1 and 2 ( Figure 3) as they returned the highest rank in docking experiments conducted on the five virtual candidates substituted at the positions 3-, 5-, 6-, 7-and 8-of the 1,4-dimethylquinolin-2(1H)-one scaffold.…”

“…The obtained binding mode matched nicely the one already described in our recent investigations on the corresponding series of coumarin derivatives. [12] Very similar considerations can be extended also to the corresponding QAS candidate compound 2.…”
