Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Triazole <em>N</em>-acylhydrazone Hybrids for Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder that involves different pathogenic mechanisms. In this regard, the goal of this study was the design and synthesis of new compounds with multifunctional pharmacological activity by molecular hybridization of structural fragments...

description Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder that involves different pathogenic mechanisms. In this regard, the goal of this study was the design and synthesis of new compounds with multifunctional pharmacological activity by molecular hybridization of structural fragments of curcumin and resveratrol connected by an <i>N</i>-acyl-hydrazone function linked to a 1,4-disubstituted triazole system. Among these hybrid compounds, derivative <b>3e</b> showed the ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, the intracellular formation of reactive oxygen species as well as the neurotoxicity elicited by Aβ<sub>42</sub> oligomers in neuronal SH-SY5Y cells. In parallel, compound <b>3e</b> showed a good profile of safety and ADME parameters. Taken together, these results suggest that <b>3e</b> could be considered a lead compound for the further development of AD therapeutics.
