Abstract
The synthesis of new compounds based on the domestic drug amiridine modified with derivatives of N-mono- and N,N-disubstituted thiourea is described. The compounds were investigated for the anticholinesterase and antioxidant activities and for the ability to inhibit the self-aggregation of β-amyloid (Aβ42). The structure—activity relationships were analyzed. The observed effects were consistent with the results of molecular docking of the compounds into cholinesterases and Aβ42. The compounds that effectively inhibit butyrylcholinesterase and demonstrate high antioxidant and antiaggregant activities were identified. The results show promise for further development of this class of compounds as potential multifunctional agents for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
