ABSTRACT
It is reported that panaxadiol has neuroprotective effects. Previous studies have found that compound with carbamate structure introduced at the 3-OH position of 20 (R) -panaxadiol showed the most effective neuroprotective activity with an EC50 of 13.17⯵M. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a series of ginseng diol carbamate derivatives with ginseng diol as the lead compound, and tested their anti-AD activity. It was found that the protective effect of compound Q4 on adrenal pheochromocytoma was 80.6⯱â¯10.85â¯% (15⯵M), and the EC50 was 4.32⯵M. According to the ELISA results, Q4 reduced the expression of Aß25-35 by decreasing ß-secretase production. Molecular docking studies revealed that the binding affinity of Q4 to ß-secretase was -49.67â¯kcal/mol, indicating a strong binding affinity of Q4 to ß-secretase. Western blotting showed that compound Q4 decreased IL-1ß levels, which may contribute to its anti-inflammatory effect. Furthermore, compound Q4 exhibits anti-AD activities by reducing abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein and activation of the mitogen activated protein kinase pathway. The learning and memory deficits in mice treated with Q4in vivo were significantly alleviated. Therefore, Q4 may be a promising multifunctional drug for the treatment of AD, providing a new way for anti-AD drugs.
