PG - 3213-9 LID - S0968-0896(14)00241-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bmc.2014.03.045 [doi] AB - Three types of aromatic-polyamine conjugates (6a-6s) were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors for cholinesterases (ChEs). The results showed that anthraquinone-polyamine conjugates (AQPCs) exhibited the most potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity with IC50 values from 1.50 to 11.13 muM. Anthracene-polyamine conjugates (APCs) showed a surprising selectivity (from 76- to 3125-fold) and were most potent at inhibiting butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), with IC50 values from 0.016 to 0.657 muM. A Lineweaver-Burk plot and molecular modeling studies indicated that the representative compounds, 6l and 6k, targeted both the catalytic active site (CAS) and the peripheral anionic site (PAS) of ChEs. Furthermore, APCs did not affect HepG2 cell viability at the concentration of 100 muM. Consequently, these polyamine conjugates could be thoroughly and systematically studied for the treatment of AD.
