A prior study reported on hydroxy substituted 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives as A and/or A antagonists for the potential treatment of neurological conditions. A lead compound () was identified with both A and A affinity in the micromolar range. The current study explored the structurally related methoxy substituted 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives with various substitutions on ring A and B of the benzylidene indanone scaffold in order to enhance A and A affinity. This led to compounds with both A and A affinity in the nanomolar range, namely (A (rat) = 41 nM; A (rat) = 97 nM) with C4-OCH substitution on ring A together with (3') hydroxy substitution on ring B and (A (rat) = 42 nM; A (rat) = 78 nM) with C4-OCH substitution on ring A together with (3') and (4') dihydroxy substitution on ring B. Additionally, is an A antagonist. Consequently, the methoxy substituted 2-benzylidene-1-indanone scaffold is highly promising for the design of novel A and A antagonists.

Background/aim: Recent research suggests that adenosine receptors (ARs) influence many of the metabolic abnormalities associated with diabetes. A non-xanthine benzylidene indanone derivative 2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)-4-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1 H-inden-1-one (2-BI), has shown to exhibit higher affinity at A/A ARs compared to caffeine. Due to its structural similarity to caffeine, and the established antidiabetic effects of caffeine, the current study was initiated to explore the possible antidiabetic effect of 2-BI.

Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the most common forms of neurodegenerative disorders. The aim of the current work is to study the potential of some new indanone derivatives for the treatment of these neurological disorders.
Methods: A new series of 4-(2-oxo-2-aminoethoxy)-2-benzylidene substituted indanone derivatives have been synthesized and studied for anti-Parkinsonian and anti-Alzheimer's effects.

Adenosine A and/or A receptor antagonists hold promise for the potential treatment of neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease. Herein, a total of seventeen benzocycloalkanone derivatives were synthesised and evaluated for affinity towards adenosine receptors (A and A AR). The obtained results allowed for the conclusion that affinity and/or selectivity of the 2-benzylidene-1-indanone and -tetralone derivatives toward A and/or A ARs may be modulated by the nature of the substituents (either -OH, -OCH or morpholine) attached at position C4 of the 1-indanone core and C5 of the 1-tetralone core as well as the (C3') and/or (C4') position(s) on ring B.

Previous studies explored 2-benzylidine-1-tetralone derivatives as innovative adenosine A and A receptor antagonists for alternative non-dopaminergic treatment of Parkinson's disease. This study's aim is to investigate structurally related 2-benzylidene-1-indanones with substitutions on ring A and B as novel, potent and selective adenosine A and A receptor blockers. 2-Benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives were synthesised via acid catalysed aldol condensation reactions and evaluated via radioligand binding assays to ascertain structure activity relationships to govern A and A AR affinity.
