hromen-4-ones has emerged as a ‘master key’ due
to its presence in wide range of activities related
to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a multi-factorial cognitive
disorder. Polyfunctional compounds comprise a novel class
of therapeutic agents for the treatment of multi-factorial
disease like AD. In present study, total 33 chromen-4-ones
were designed and synthesized by making modifications at
different positions using Baker-Venkatraman rearrangement.
These compounds were primarily evaluated for in vitro
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory, advanced glyacation
end products (AGEs) inhibition and antioxidant activity
and showed that most derivatives inhibited AChE with
IC50 values in the nanomolar range with additional AGEs
inhibitory and radical scavenging activities. The most active
compounds FLV-16, FLV-31 and FLV-32 (IC50=6.33, 6.48 and
5.83 nM, respectively) were also ameliorated scopolamine-
induced amnesia in mice model using moris water maze test
and also reversed the changes of various oxidative stress
markers (GSH and TBARS). The docking study revealed the
binding pattern of compounds simultaneously bind with
catalytic active site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of
AChE. Moreover, the in silico pharmacokinetic pro les were
predicted and revealed the drug-like properties with good
penetration in brain and good oral absorption of compounds.
After MD simulations, RMSD plots showed that the docked
complexes were quite stable for the specified time of 10 ns
with minor uctuations. Thus, newly designed chromen-
4-ones can act on different targets related to AD and the
poly-functional attribute of these compounds make them
potential candidates for the development of drugs for AD.
