Abstract
: A library of isomeric 2,4-diaminoquinazoline (DAQ) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antiaggregation potential toward A β 40/42. Structure − activity relationship data identi fi ed compound 3k ( N 4 -(4-bromobenzyl)-quinazoline-2,4-diamine) with a 4-bromobenzyl substituent as the most potent inhibitor (A β 40 IC 50 = 80 nM) and was almost 18-fold more potent compared to the reference agent curcumin (A β 40 IC 50 = 1.5 μ M). The corresponding N 2 -isomer 4k ( N 2 -(4-bromobenzyl)quinazoline-2,4-diamine) was also able to prevent A β aggregation (A β 40 IC 50 = 1.7 μ M). However, compound 4k exhibited superior inhibition of A β 42 aggregation (A β 42 IC 50 = 1.7 μ M) compared to compound 3k (A β 42 IC 50 = 14.8 μ M) and was ∼ 1.8-fold more potent compared to curcumin (A β 42 IC 50 = 3.1 μ M). These results were supported by A β aggregation kinetics investigations and transmission electron microscopy studies, which demonstrate the suitability of DAQ ring system to develop antiamyloid agents as pharmacological tools to study A β aggregation.
Isomeric 2,4-diaminoquinazolines show potential as antiamyloid agents, with compound 3k being the most potent inhibitor of A40 aggregation and compound 4k showing superior inhibition of A42 aggregation compared to curcumin.
