Abstract

A library of twelve quinazoline-triazole hybrid compounds were designed, synthesized and evaluated as a novel class of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). The biological assay results demonstrated the ability of several hybrid compounds to inhibit AChE enzyme (IC range = 0.2-83.9 µM). To understand the high potential activity of these compounds, molecular docking simulations were performed to get better insights into the mechanism of binding of quinazoline-triazole hybrid compounds. As expected, compounds 8a and 9a-b bind to both catalytic anionic site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) in the active site of AChE enzyme, which implicates that these compounds could act as dual binding site inhibitors. These compounds were not cytotoxic and they also displayed appropriated physicochemical as well as pharmacokinetic profile to be developed as novel anti-AD drug candidates.
