摘要

The development of multifunctional agents has been a heated area of research for AD treatment in recent years. In this work, a series of melatonin-isatin hybrids were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as multifunctional agents for treating AD. In vitro studies indicated that most of the synthesized compounds displayed moderate to good MAO-B inhibition activities and good antioxidant activities. In particular, compounds IM-5 and IM-10 exhibited the best inhibitory activities with IC50 value of 12.4 μM and 15.6 μM against MAO-B, and potent antioxidant activities with their ORAC-FL values of 4.6 and 5.2 at 5 μM, respectively. ThT assay revealed compounds IM-5 and IM-10 exhibited the optimal Aβ1-42 self-induced aggregation inhibitory activities with the inhibition ratio of 72.8% and 69.7% at 20 μM. In addition, compounds IM-5 and IM-10 exhibited low cytotoxicities and significant neuroprotective effects on Aβ1-42-induced and H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cell injury. More importantly, compounds IM-5 and IM-10 could significantly ameliorate the memory impairment and cognition injury in scopolamine-induced mice. The SwissADME program was used to predict drug-like properties of compounds IM-5 and IM-10 which exhibited they had good pharmacokinetics and drug-likeness properties. Molecular docking study further manifested that compounds IM-5 and IM-10 showed high hMAO-B inhibitory potency. In summary, all above results revealed compounds IM-5 and IM-10 might be promising multifunctional agents for AD treatment.
