Deskripsi

Novel multitarget-directed ligands <b>BIGI 4a-d</b> and <b>BIGI 5a-d</b> were designed and synthesized with a simple and cost-efficient procedure via a one-pot three-component Biginelli reaction targeting acetyl-/butyrylcholinesterases inhibition, calcium channel antagonism, and antioxidant ability. Among these multitarget-directed ligands, <b>BIGI 4b</b>, <b>BIGI 4d,</b> and <b>BIGI 5b</b> were identified as promising new hit compounds showing in vitro balanced activities toward the recognized AD targets. In addition, these compounds showed suitable physicochemical properties and a good druglikeness score predicted by Data Warrior software.
