Abstract
The synthesis, molecular modeling, and pharmacological analysis of new multipotent simple, and readily available 2-aminopyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles (3-20), and 2-chloropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles (21-28), prepared from 2-amino-6-chloropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (1) and 2-amino-6-chloro-4-phenylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (2) is described. The biological evaluation showed that some of these molecules were modest inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), in the micromolar range. The 2-amino (3, 4), and 2-chloro derivatives 21-23, 25, 26 were AChE selective inhibitors, whereas 2-amino derivatives 5, 14 proved to be selective for BuChE. Only inhibitor 24 was equipotent for both cholinesterases. Kinetic studies on compound 23 showed that this compound is a mixed-type inhibitor of AChE showing a K(i) of 6.33 microM. No clear SAR can be obtained form these data, but apparently, compounds bearing small groups such as the N,N'-dimethylamino or the pyrrolidino, regardless of the presence of a 2-amino, or 6-chloro substituent in the pyridine ring, preferentially inhibit AChE. Molecular modeling on inhibitors 4, 5, 22, and 23 has been carried out to give a better insight into the binding mode on the ca...Continue Reading
