Abstract

Neuroinflammation is an intricate process that is associated with both normal and pathological conditions. Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is known to lead to various neurodegenerative and neurological disorders. A series of 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one derivatives (1-15) and novel 5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-2-amine derivatives (16-30) were synthesized and characterized by various analytical methods, such as NMR and HRMS. All compounds were evaluated for toxicity, screened for their anti-neuroinflammatory properties, and investigated for the potential molecular mechanism of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction in BV2 microglia. Structure activity relationship analysis showed that compound 17 substituted by the 7-fluorine atom on the A-ring and the 3-methoxy on the D-ring had more potential anti-neuroinflammatory activity by inhibiting the secretion of cytokines TNF-α and IL-6. The results of western blotting assay showed that 17 significantly blocked the activation and phosphorylation of IκBα, significantly reduce the expression of NLRP3 inflammatory vesicle-associated proteins, and thus inhibit the activation of NF-κB pathway. Thus, compound 17 was demonstrated to be an excellent potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of neuroinflammation-related diseases.
