Abstract:
:Different Mannich base derivatives have been studied with the aim of addressing the poor aqueous solubility of the recently disclosed 6-phenethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroazepino[4,3-b]indol-1(6H)-one (1), a human butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor (hBChE, IC50 13 nM) and protective agent in NMDA-induced neurotoxicity, in in vivo assays. The N-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl derivative 2 c showed a 50-fold increase in solubility in pH 7.4-buffered solution, high stability in serum and (half-life >24 h) and rapid (<3 min) conversion to 1 at acidic pH. Although less active than 1, 2 c retained moderate hBChE inhibition (IC50 =3.35 μM) and a significant protective effect against NMDA-induced neurotoxicity at 0.1 μM. Moreover, 2 c resulted a weaker serum albumin binder than 1, could pass the blood-brain barrier, and exerted negligible cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells. These findings suggest that 2 c could be a water-soluble prodrug candidate of 1 for oral administration or a slow-release injectable derivative in in vivoAlzheimer's disease models.
