Quinoxalinetacrine QT78, a cholinesterase inhibitor as a potential ligand for Alzheimer’s disease therapy

We report the synthesis and relevant pharmacological properties of the quinoxalinetacrine (QT) hybrid QT78 in a project targeted to identify new non-hepatotoxic tacrine derivatives for Alzheimer’s disease therapy. We have found that QT78 is less toxic than tacrine at high concentrations (from 100 _M...

Resumo:We report the synthesis and relevant pharmacological properties of the quinoxalinetacrine (QT) hybrid QT78 in a project targeted to identify new non-hepatotoxic tacrine derivatives for Alzheimer’s disease therapy. We have found that QT78 is less toxic than tacrine at high concentrations (from 100 _M to 1 mM), less potent than tacrine as a ChE inhibitor, but shows selective BuChE inhibition (IC50 (hAChE) = 22.0 _ 1.3 _M; IC50 (hBuChE) = 6.79 _ 0.33 _M). Moreover, QT78 showed e_ective and strong neuroprotection against diverse toxic stimuli, such as rotenone plus oligomycin-A
