Summary: | A series of thirty (30) thiazole analogs were prepared, characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and EI-MS and evaluated for Acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory potential. All analogs exhibited varied butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity with IC50 value ranging between 1.59 ± 0.01 and 389.25 ± 1.75 μM when compared with the standard eserine (IC50, 0.85 ± 0.0001 μM). Analogs 15, 7, 12, 9, 14, 1, 30 with IC50 values 1.59 ± 0.01, 1.77 ± 0.01, 6.21 ± 0.01, 7.56 ± 0.01, 8.46 ± 0.01, 14.81 ± 0.32 and 16.54 ± 0.21 μM respectively showed excellent inhibitory potential. Seven analogs 15, 20, 19, 24, 28, 30 and 25 exhibited good acetylcholinesterase inhibitory potential with IC50 values 21.3 ± 0.50, 35.3 ± 0.64, 36.6 ± 0.70, 44.81 ± 0.81, 46.36 ± 0.84, 48.2 ± 0.06 and 48.72 ± 0.91 μM respectively. All other analogs also exhibited well to moderate enzyme inhibition. The binding mode of these compounds was confirmed through molecular docking. © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
