Abstract
A number of N-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-2-aminothiazolines with different substituents at position 5 of thiazoline ring was synthesized and their inhibitory activity against human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7), horse serum butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, EC 3.1.1.8), and porcine liver carboxylesterase (CaE, EC 3.1.1.1) was studied, as well as their antioxidant properties in DPPH and ABTS tests (DPPH is the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, ABTS is the 2,2´-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazolino-6-sulfonic acid)). All the studied compounds virtually do not inhibit AChE, whereas the inhibition degree of BChE and CaE depends on the substituent structure. The presence of radical-binding activity comparable with the standard antioxidant ascorbic acid was shown for compounds containing a iodomethyl substituent. The found lead compound (R^1 = H, R^2 = CH_2I) combines the antioxidant properties and the ability to efficiently inhibit BChE, simultaneously possessing an optimal esterase profile. The performed studies showed that N-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-2-aminothiazolines are a new promising class of compounds, which can be used for the development of multifunctional agents for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
N-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-2-aminothiazolines show potential as multifunctional agents for treating neurodegenerative diseases, with their inhibitory activity against BChE and CaE depending on the substituent structure.
