Additionally, compound 36 had docking values of - 7.29 kcal/mol for AChE and - 6.71 kcal/mol for BChE (whereas donepezil was - 6.49 kcal/mol and - 5.057 kcal/mol, respectively). Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations revealed that compound 36 is stable in the active gorges of both AChE (average RMSD: 1.98 & Aring;) and BChE (average RMSD: 2.2 & Aring;) (donepezil had average RMSD: 1.65 & Aring; and 2.7 & Aring;, respectively).

By using techniques for 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and IR spectroscopy, all compounds were investigated. Additionally, these compounds' abilities to block enzymes were looked into. They had a highly effective inhibitory effect on the isoenzymes of carbonic anhydrases I and II, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Ki values were found in the range of 57.43 +/- 7.09-170.09 +/- 50.91 nM for AChE, 7.19 +/- 0.42-69.08 +/- 2.44 nM for BChE, and 46.48 +/- 5.74-203.38 +/- 46.15 nM for hCA I, and 30.19 +/- 4.03-171.96 +/- 30.27 nM for hCA II. As a result, 1,3-disubtitituted tetrahydroprimidinium salts exhibited potent inhibition profiles toward indicated metabolic enzymes. One of the most important methods for designing and creating novel, potent medications to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) worldwide is the synthesis and discovery of new AChE and BChE inhibitors. The activities of synthesized 3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinium salts were compared against various proteins that are crystal structure of AChE (PDB ID: 4 M0E), crystal structure of BChE (PDB ID: 5NN0), crystal structure of hCA I (PDB ID: 2CAB), and crystal structure of hCA II (PDB ID: 3DC3), and then the drug properties of these molecules were examined. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a series of 1,3-disubtitituted tetrahydropyrimidinium salts were synthesized and characterized by IR and NMR spectra. These compounds were evaluated against the AChE, BChE, hCA I and hCA II enzymes. These compounds showed good enzyme inhibition profiles. The activities of the investigated 1,3-disubstituted tetrahydropyrimidinium salts were compared to the theoretical calculations results using molecular docking. imageÖğe Synthesis, characterization and bioactivities of dative donor ligand N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors and their Ag(I)NHC coordination compounds(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Kazanci, Ali; Gok, Yetkin; Kaya, Ruya; Aktas, Aydin; Taslimi, Parham; Gulcin, IlhamiThis study contains the synthesis of N-phthalimidomethyl-substituted NHC precursors and their Ag(I) NHC coordination compounds. The NHC precursors were synthesized from the 1-(N-phthalimidomethyl)benzimidazole and alkyl/aryl halide. The Ag(I)NHC coordination compounds were synthesized from the N-phthalimidomethyl substituted benzimidazolium salts and silver oxide via the in-situ deprotonation method. The formation of all compounds was proved fully by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, FTIR and elemental analysis techniques. Also, these novel N-phthalimidomethyl substituted NHC precursors and Ag(I) NHC coordination compounds were found as effective inhibitors for acetylcholinesterase (AChE), human carbonic anhydrase I isoenzyme (hCA I), human carbonic anhydrase II isoenzyme (hCA II), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) with inhibition constants (K(i)s) in the range of 1.00 +/- 0.14-2.31 +/- 0.58 mu M for hCA I, 1.30 +/- 0.21-2.85 +/- 0.56 mu M for hCA II, 0.35 +/- 0.06-2.58 +/- 0.70 mu M for AChE, and 0.42 +/- 0.01- 1.27 +/- 0.16 mu M for BChE, respectively.
