Abstract

In search of multifunctional cholinesterase inhibitors as potential anti-Alzheimer drug candidates, tacrine-ferulic acid-NO donor trihybrids were synthesized and tested for their cholinesterase inhibitory activities, release of nitric oxide, vasodilator properties, cognition improving potency, and hepatotoxicity. All of the novel target compounds show higher in vitro cholinesterase inhibitory activity than tacrine. Three selected compounds (3a, 3f, and 3k) produce moderate vasorelaxation in vitro, which correlates with the release of nitric oxide. Compared to its non-nitrate dihybrid analogue (3u), the trihybrid 3f exhibits better performance in improving the scopolamine-induced cognition impairment (mice) and, furthermore, less hepatotoxicity than tacrine.
