Derivatives of 4-aminoantipyrine as anti-Alzheimers butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors

Abstract

One embodiment of the invention relates to the treatment of diseases associated with increased butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzyme activity such Alzheimer's Disease (AD), involving administering an effective amount of a compound selected from a group of new N, N′-disubstituted benzylamine derivatives (1-8) of 4-aminoantipyrine (ampyrone). The kinetic studies of two potent compounds 4-(Bis(4-iodobenzyl) amino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (5) (IC50=2.43±0.4 and Ki=5.67±0.5 μM) and 4-(Bis(2-bromobenzyl) amino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (6) (IC50=0.7±0.2 and Ki=2.4±0.4 μM), revealed them as a competitive and a non-competitive inhibitor of BuChE, respectively. Galantamine Hydrobromide was used as standard inhibitor with IC50=40.83±0.4 and Ki=21.5±0.7 μM (Mixed type Inhibitor). The metabolite of aminophenazone, 4-aminoantipyrine (A) is also being reported here as an inhibitor of BuChE for the first time.
