ABSTRACT
Eight hybrids of amantadine (ATD) with a natural modulator gardenamide A (GA) via an alkylene carbonyl bridge or alkylene bridge have been designed and synthesized. Evaluated by electrophysiological assay, compound 5b was confirmed an enhanced NMDAR antagonist compared to ATD with IC50 value of 10.2 ± 1.2 µM. 5b has been demonstrated to reverse the damages of behavioral performance, the loss of dopaminergic neurons, the reduction of TH positive, and the increase of α-synuclein in both MPTP-treated mice and zebrafish models. In both ethological and ecological experiments, the activity of 5b was confirmed better than ATD or ATD/GA combination, and was almost equal to the positive selegiline. In vivo and in vitro, 5b is shown to reverse the ascend of NR1 and i-NOS levels. This candidate was also demonstrated the activity to down-regulated MPTP-increased Ca2+ influx in SH-SY5Y cells in a steep and sharp mode. It is displayed that 5b exerts neuroprotective effect partly by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Taken all together, our data support that 5b is a more promising agent against PD than ATD.
