Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)
| For the present COST Action, we propose the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new multitarget and polyvalent molecules for the treatment of diseases of ageing, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and stroke. The new molecules are nitrones designed as inhibitors of monoamine oxidases, and cholinesterases, showing strong chelating and antioxidant properties. The target compounds result from the juxtaposition of ASS234 and RP19, two compounds previously developed in our laboratory for AD and stroke therapy, respectively. ASS234 is a neuroprotective and dual inhibitor of MAOs and ChEs, showing significant capacity to prevent the beta-amyloid aggregation in the cortex of double-transgenic mice. RP19 is an antioxidant quinolylnitrone tested with success in a global and focal cerebral ischemia. Based on the in vitro biological evaluation, we will be able to identify several hit molecules, ready for the in vivo studies. Finally, we expect to identify a lead-compound for the pre-clinical studies. |
