A novel series of flavokawain B derivatives, chalcone Mannich bases (4-10) were designed, synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for the inhibition activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Biological results revealed that four compounds displayed potent activities against AChE with IC50 values below 20μM. Moreover, the most promising compound 8 was 2-fold more active than rivastigmine, a well-known AChE inhibitor. The logP values of 4-10 were around 2 which indicated that they were sufficiently lipophilic to pass blood brain barriers in vivo. Enzyme kinetic study suggested that the inhibition mechanism of compound 8 was a mixed-type inhibition. Meanwhile, the molecular docking showed that this compound can both bind with the catalytic site and the periphery of AChE.

D008352 Mannich Bases Ketonic amines prepared from the condensation of a ketone with formaldehyde and ammonia or a primary or secondary amine. A Mannich base can act as the equivalent of an alpha,beta unsaturated ketone in synthesis or can be reduced to form physiologically active amino alcohols. Mannich Base,Base, Mannich,Bases, Mannich
D008958 Models, Molecular Models used experimentally or theoretically to study molecular shape, electronic properties, or interactions; includes analogous molecules, computer-generated graphics, and mechanical structures. Molecular Models,Model, Molecular,Molecular Model
D002800 Cholinesterase Inhibitors Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.
