RT Journal Article T1 Pyranopyrazolotacrines as nonneurotoxic, Aβ-anti-aggregating and neuroprotective agents for Alzheimer’s disease A1 Chioua, Mourad A1 Pérez Peña, Javier A1 García Font, Nuria A1 Moraleda, Ignacio A1 Iriepa, Isabel A1 Soriano, Elena A1 Marco Contelles, José A1 Oset Gasque, María Jesús AB Aim: Due to the complex nature of Alzheimer’s disease, there is a renewed search for multipotent, nonhepatotoxic tacrines. Results: This paper describes the synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation of eight new racemic 3-methyl-4-aryl-2,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-b]quinolin-5-amines (pyranopyrazolotacrines, PPT) as nonhepatotoxic multipotent tacrine analogs. Among these compounds, PPT4 is the less hepatotoxic in the cell viability assay on HepG2 cells, showing a good neuroprotective effect in the decreased cortical neuron viability induced by oligomycin A/rotenone analysis. PPT4 is a selective and good, noncompetitive EeAChE inhibitor, able to completely inhibit the Aβ1–40 aggregation induced by acetylcholinesterase. Conclusion: A new family of permeable tacrine analogs, have been discovered for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
