The objective of the present study was to design, synthesize and evaluate diverse Schiff bases and thiazolidin-4-one derivatives of aminothiazole as key pharmacophores possessing acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Two series of compounds (13 each) were synthesized and evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase inhibition and antioxidant activity. Molecular docking of all compounds was performed to provide an insight into their binding interactions. Compounds (IC = 0.03 μM) and (IC = 1.58 μM) were found to be the best acetylcholinesterase inhibitors among compounds of their respective series. Molecular docking analysis supported the results of activity by displaying good docking scores with the binding pocket of human acetylcholinesterase (Protein Data Bank ID: 4EY7). Compound emerged as a potential lead compound with excellent acetylcholinesterase inhibition, antioxidant and chelation activity.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative dementia, marked by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment. Despite advances in therapeutic research, single-target-directed treatments often fall short in addressing the complex, multifactorial nature of AD. This arises from various pathological features, including amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregate deposition, metal ion dysregulation, oxidative stress, impaired neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuronal cell death.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with cognitive impairments which are linked to a deficit in cholinergic function. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of TeMac™ to prevent memory impairment in scopolamine-rats model of Alzheimer's disease and by in silico approaches to identify molecules in TeMac™ inhibiting acetylcholinesterase. The cholinergic cognitive dysfunction was induced by intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine (1 mg/kg daily) in male Wistar rats for seven consecutive days.

The current pharmacological pretreatment and medical treatment of nerve agent poisoning is an insufficiently addressed medical task. The prophylactic efficacy of a novel compound acting dually as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and NMDA receptor antagonist (K1959) and the therapeutic efficacy of a novel NMDA receptor antagonist (K2060) were evaluated in the NMRI mice model of nerve agent poisoning by tabun, soman and sarin. Their added value to the standard antidotal treatment (a combination of oxime reactivator and atropine) was also analyzed.

Background: Neural stem cells (NSCs) disrupt with aging, contributing to neurodegeneration. Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), a compound found in Ginseng, is known for its anti-aging effects; however, its role in the progression of aging NSCs remains unclear. Therefore, this investigation explored the impact of Rg1 on the growth and maturation of aging NSC and elucidated its underlying molecular mechanisms.
