Four new and four known isoxazoline derivatives were synthesized from the reactions of benzonorbornadiene with nitrile oxides formed from the corresponding benzaldehydes. Three new and one known pyrazoline derivatives were also synthesized from the reactions of the benzonorbornadiene with nitrile imines formed from the corresponding compounds. The synthesized nitrogenbased novel heterocyclic compounds were evaluated against the human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and hCA II), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. The synthesized nitrogenbased novel heterocyclic compounds showed IC 50 values in the range of 2.69-7.01 against hCA I, 2.40-4.59 against hCA II, 0.81-1.32 µM against AChE, and 20.83-1.70 µM against BChE enzymes. On the contrary, nitrogen-based novel heterocyclic compounds demonstrated K i values between2.93 ± 0.59-8.61 ± 1.39 against hCA I, 2.05 ± 0.62-4.97 ± 0.95 against hCA II, 0.34 ± 0.02-0.92 ± 0.17 nM against AChE, and 0.50 ± 0.04-1.20 ± 0.16 µM against BChE enzymes. The synthesized nitrogen-based novel heterocyclic compounds exhibited effective inhibition profiles against both indicated metabolic enzymes. These results may contribute to the development of new drugs particularly to treat some disorders, which are widespread in the world including glaucoma and Alzheimer's diseases.

After known adduct (4) was synthesized by cycloaddition reaction of cyclopentadiene with 4‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazoline‐3,5‐dione, seven new isoxazoline derivatives were synthesized from reactions of 4 with corresponding oximes prepared from benzaldehyde derivatives in the existence of the aqueous NaOCl in CH2Cl2 at 0°C—RT via nitrile oxides. Four new pyrazoline derivatives were also synthesized from reactions of 4 with corresponding prepared reagents via nitrile imines. Selectively, each of all isoxazole and pyrazoline derivatives was synthesized by 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions of compound 4 with the corresponding reagents. Based on the results of their biological activity analyses, Ki values for acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and alpha‐glucosidase (α‐Gly) enzymes were obtained in this range 32.15 ± 5.73–107.44 ± 19.52 22.57 ± 4.30–186.07 ± 23.51, and 69.08 ± 8.54–528.07 ± 38.46 nM, respectively. Besides that, these compounds were subjected to molecular docking to describe the interaction against AChE, BChE, and α‐Gly enzymes in which important interactions were visualized and evaluated with residues of the binding region in each target enzyme.
