In particular, we have focused our attention on modulating the activity of cholinesterases (AChE, BuChE) in order to restore the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and of O-GlcNAcase (OGA), which is associated with hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, in turn related to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Specifically, we considered the possibility of using carbohydrate-fused 1,3-selenazolines, decorated with a 2alkylamino or 2-alkoxy moieties. On the one hand, the presence of a selenium atom might be useful in modulating the intrinsic oxidative stress in AD. On the other hand, such bicyclic structure might behave as a transition state analogue of OGA hydrolysis. Moreover, upon protonation, it could mimic the ammonium cation of acetylcholine. The lead compound, bearing a propylamino moiety on C-2 position of the selenazoline motif, proved to be a good candidate against AD, it turned out to be a strong inhibitor of BuChE (IC50 = 0.46 mu M), the most prevalent cholinesterase in advanced disease stages, with a roughly 4.8 selectivity index in connection to AChE (IC50 = 2.2 mu M). This compound exhibited a roughly 12-fold increase in activity compared to galantamine, one of the currently marketed drugs against AD, and a selective AChE inhibitor, and virtually the same activity as rivastigmine, a selective BuChE inhibitor. Furthermore, it was also endowed with a strong inhibitory activity against human OGA, within the nanomolar range (IC50 = 0.053 mu M for hOGA, >100 mu M for hHexB), and, thus, with an outstanding selectivity (IC50(hHexB)/IC50(hOGA) > 1887). The title compounds also exhibited an excellent selectivity against a panel of glycosidases and a negligible cytotoxicity against tumor and non-tumor cell lines. Docking simulations performed on the three target enzymes (AChE, BuChE, and OGA) revealed the key interactions to rationalize the biological data.
