Myricetin attenuates the severity of seizures and neuroapoptosis in pentylenetetrazole kindled mice by regulating the of BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway and modulating matrix metalloproteinase-9 and GABA.

Currently available antiepileptic drugs are effective; however, frequently associated with adverse effects that limit their therapeutic value. Compounds that target the molecular events underlying epilepsy, with minor or no adverse effects, would be of clinical value. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) signaling pathway may be involved in epileptogenesis.

Design and discovery of Novel Thiazole acetamide derivatives as anticholinesterase agent for possible role in the management of Alzheimer's.

A novel series of thiazole acetamides was synthesized in excellent yields and characterized with the aid of various spectroscopic and elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activities for possible benefit in Alzheimers disease (AD). Among the synthesized compound, 6d was identified as the most potent compound of AChE (IC50=3.
