(E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-heteroarylacrylonitriles are described as a new class of selective inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The most potent compound in the series exhibited good AChE inhibitory activity (IC50 = 64 µM). Compound 7f was found to be more selective than galanthamine in inhibiting AChE and it showed a moderate selectivity index. Kinetic studies on AChE indicated that a competitive type of inhibition pattern exist for these acrylonitrile derivates. Molecular docking models of the ligand-AChE complexes suggest that compound 7g is located on the periphery of the AChE active site.

Neste trabalho são apresentados os procedimentos para a síntese de diferentes compostos heterocíclicos a partir do 2,3-O-isopropilideno-D-gliceraldeído: ciclização intramolecular, cicloadição 1,3-dipolar e reação de acoplamento bimolecular. Os produtos sintetizados foram caracterizados por espectroscopia de 1 H RMN e 13 C RMN e análise elementar. Os novos heterocíclicos e seus derivados (12 compostos) foram testados como inhibidores da enzima acetilcolinesterase.We report herein the convenient procedures for the syntheses of different heterocyclic compounds from 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde using intramolecular cyclization, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or bimolecular coupling reactions. The products were characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The new heterocycles and their derivatives were evaluated as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase enzyme.
