Inflammation is a complex set of interactions that can occur in tissues as the body's defensive response to infections, trauma, allergens, or toxic compounds. Therefore, in almost all diseases, it can be observed because of primary or secondary reasons. Since it is important to control and even eliminate the symptoms of inflammation in the treatment of many diseases, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs are always needed in the clinic.

Designing multi-targeted drugs (MTD) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now one of the priorities for medicinal chemists, as the disease has a complicated not fully understood pathological nature and the approved mono-targeted drugs only alleviate the symptoms. In this study, the synthesis, spectral analyses and inhibition activity against cholinesterase (ChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes of a novel series of -[5-(adamantan-1-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-2-(4-un/substituted) cyclic secondary amino-acetamide/propanamide derivatives were done. Generally, derivatives were more selective against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and -MAO-B than butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and -MAO-A, respectively.
