RESUMEN
In this work, a novel series of hydrazineylideneindolinone linked to phenoxymethyl-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anti-α-glucosidase activity due to an urgent need to develop effective anti-diabetic agents. Among tested 15 compounds, 8 derivatives (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e, 9f, 9h, and 9o) demonstrated superior potency compared to that of positive control, acarbose. Particularly, compound 9d possessed the best anti-α-glucosidase activity with around a 46-fold improvement in the inhibitory activity. Additionally, 9d showed a competitive type of inhibition in the kinetic study and the molecular docking study demonstrated that it well occupied the binding pocket of the catalytic center through desired interactions with residues, correlating to the experimental results.

Aim: A new series of 1,2,3-triazole-hydrazone derivatives were developed to evaluate their anti-Alzheimer's activity. Materials & methods: All compounds were screened toward cholinesterases via the modified Ellman's method. The toxicity assay on SH-SY5Y cells was performed using the MTT assay, and the expression levels of GSK-3α, GSK-3ß, DYRK1 and CDK5 were assessed in the presence of compounds 6m and 6p.Results:6m and 6p; acting as mixed-type inhibitors, exhibited promising acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, respectively. 6m demonstrated no toxicity under tested concentrations on the SH-SY5Y cells and positively impacted neurodegenerative pathways. Notably, 6m displayed a significant downregulation in mRNA levels of GSK-3α, GSK-3ß and CDK5.Conclusion: The target compounds could be considered in developing anti-Alzheimer's disease agents.
