According to molecular docking results, all molecules were found to be more active than the reference compounds.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:A series of new chalcone derivatives (1-5) were synthesized as a result of the Claisen-Schmidt condensation of different substituted methyl aldehydes of 4′-Piperazinoacetophenone.
📊
Key Findings & Data:While compound 1 is the most active molecule in AChE (IC50= 16.29±0.44 μM), BChE (IC50 = 10.19±0.04 μM) and α-amylase (IC50= 105.51±0.24 μM) inhibitor activities; Compound 5 was found to be the most active molecule in α-glucosidase inhibitor activity.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:According to molecular docking results, all molecules were found to be more active than the reference compounds.
A series of new chalcone derivatives (1-5) were synthesized as a result of the Claisen-Schmidt condensation of different substituted methyl aldehydes of 4′-Piperazinoacetophenone. Anticholinesterase (AChE and BChE) inhibitory activity and antidiabetic (α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory) activities of the synthesized compounds were examined. While compound 1 is the most active molecule in AChE (IC50= 16.29±0.44 μM), BChE (IC50 = 10.19±0.04 μM) and α-amylase (IC50= 105.51±0.24 μM) inhibitor activities; Compound 5 was found to be the most active molecule in α-glucosidase inhibitor activity. In silico and molecular docking studies of compounds 1-5 were performed. According to molecular docking results, all molecules were found to be more active than the reference compounds.
