This is an N-terminal fragment of beta amyloid. It consists of amino acid residues 1 to 9. Truncated beta amyloid peptide (10-40) still forms amyloid fibrils and shows fibril polymorphism.
6,9-Dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine is a synthetic intermediate in the synthesis of tacrine-based acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors.1It is also an intermediate in the synthesis of multifunctional tacrine hybrids that possess radical scavenging, amyloid-β aggregation inhibitory, and or β-secretase 1 (BACE1) inhibitory activities in addition to their activity as AChE inhibitors.2,3 1.Recanatini, M., Cavalli, A., Belluti, F., et al.SAR of 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine-based acetylcholinesterase inhibitors: Synthesis, enzyme inhibitory activity, QSAR, and structure-based CoMFA of tacrine analoguesJ.

Donecopride is a partial agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT4E(Ki= 8.5 nM) and an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE; IC50= 16 nM).1It is selective for AChE over butyrylcholinesterase (BChE; IC50= 3,530 nM) but does bind to 5-HT2Band sigma-2 (σ2) receptors (Ki= 1.6 nM for both) in a panel of 42 neurotransmitter receptors and transporters. Donecopride induces release of soluble amyloid precursor protein-α (sAPP-α) in COS-7 cells transiently expressing 5-HT4with an EC50value of 11.3 nM. Oral administration of donecopride (1 mg/kg) reduces brain soluble and insoluble amyloid-β (1-42) levels and increases the time spent exploring the novel object in the novel object recognition (NOR) test in the 5XFAD transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. Donecopride (3 mg/kg, p.o.) prevents a reduction in spontaneous alternation behavior induced by intracerebroventricular administration of soluble Aβ42 (sAβ42) in the Y-maze in mice.2 1.Lecoutey, C., Hedou, D., Freret, T., et al.Design of donecopride, a dual serotonin subtype 4 receptor agonist/acetylcholinesterase inhibitor with potential interest for Alzheimer's disease treatmentProc.

AChE BChE-IN-9 (Compound 7a) is a potent orally active inhibitor of AChE and BChE, with IC50 values of 5.74 μM and 14.05 μM against hAChE and eqBChE, respectively. It also demonstrates effective antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 57.35 μM. Additionally, AChE BChE-IN-9 exhibits the ability to chelate iron and modulate the aggregation of amyloid β 1-42. Notably, AChE-IN-16 has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier [1].
