Cholinesterases, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), have a role in cholinergic deficit which evidently leads to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of cholinesterases with small molecules is an attractive strategy in AD therapy. This study demonstrates synthesis of pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines (6a-6q) series, their inhibitory activities against both cholinesterases, AChE and BChE, and molecular docking studies. The bioactivities data of pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines showed 3-(3'-nitrophenyl)pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine 6n a potent dual inhibitor among the series against both AChE and BChE with IC50 values of 0.466 ± 0.121 and 1.89 ± 0.05 μm, respectively. The analogues 3-(3'-methylphenyl)pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine 6c and 3-(3'-fluorophenyl)pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine 6f were found to be selective inhibition for BChE with IC50 values of 0.583 ± 0.052 μm and AChE with IC50 value of 0.899 ± 0.10 μm, respectively. Molecular docking studies of the active compounds suggested the putative binding modes with cholinesterases. The potent compounds among the series could potentially serves as good leads for the development of new cholinesterase inhibitors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011719 Pyrazines A heterocyclic aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C4H4N2. Pyrazine
D002091 Butyrylcholinesterase An aspect of cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8). Pseudocholinesterase,Benzoylcholinesterase,Butyrylthiocholinesterase
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.

D000544 Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.
