Rivastigmine-Benzimidazole Hybrids as Promising Multitarget Metal-Modulating Co...
Vicente-Zurdo, David; Brunetti, Leonardo; Piemontese, Luca; Guedes, Beatriz; Cardoso, Sandra M.; Chavarria, Daniel; Borges, Fernanda; Madrid, YolandaWith the goal of combating the multi-faceted Alzheimer's disease (AD), a series of Rivastigmine-Benzimidazole (RIV-BIM) hybrids was recently reported by us as multitarget-directed ligands, thanks to their capacity to tackle important hallmarks of AD. In particular, they exhibited antioxidant activity, acted as cholinesterase inhibitors, and inhibited amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation. Herein, we moved forward in this ...
Derivatives of Tenuazonic Acid as Potential New Multi-Target Anti-Alzheimer's D...
Poliseno, Viviana; Chaves, Sílvia; Brunetti, Leonardo; Loiodice, Fulvio; Carrieri, Antonio; Laghezza, Antonio; Tortorella, Paolo; Magalhães, João D.Alzheimer's disease (AD) is generally recognized as a multifactorial neurodegenerative pathology with an increasing impact on society. Tenuazonic acid (TA) is a natural compound that was recently identified as a potential multitarget ligand with anti-cholinesterase, anti-amyloidogenic and antioxidant activities. Using its structure as a chemical scaffold, we synthesized and evaluated new derivatives (1-5), incl...
