ABSTRACT
A series of chromone-deferiprone hybrids were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase B (hMAO-B) with iron-chelating activity for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The majority exhibited moderate inhibitory activity towards hMAO-B and potent iron-chelating properties. Particularly, compound 25c demonstrated remarkable selectivity against hMAO-B with an IC50 value of 1.58 µM and potent iron-chelating ability (pFe3+ = 18.79) comparable to that of deferiprone (pFe3+ = 17.90). Molecular modeling and kinetic studies showed that 25c functions as a non-competitive hMAO-B inhibitor. According to the predicted results, compound 25c can penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Additionally, it has been proved to display significant antioxidant activity and the ability to inhibit neuronal ferroptosis. More importantly, compound 25c reduced the cognitive impairment induced by scopolamine and showed significant non-toxicity in short-term toxicity assays. In summary, compound 25c was identified as a potential anti-AD agent with hMAO-B inhibitory, iron-chelating and anti-ferroptosis activities.
