Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Thiazole-Based Derivatives as Potential Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Nineteen new thiazole-based derivatives were synthesized and their structures characterized with analytical and spectral data. The in vitro assessment of their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity revealed that compounds 10 and 16 produced potent AChE inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 103.24 and 108.94 nM, respectively. Compounds 13, 17, 18, 21, 23, 31, and 33 displayed moderate activity with 25-50% relative potency compared to the known potent AChE inhibitor donepezil. Molecular docking studies of the active compounds docked within the active site cavity of AChE showed a binding orientation similar to that of donepezil, with good predicted binding affinities. These compounds could therefore be considered as potential lead compounds for the development of new and potentially improved AChE inhibitors.
