Structure-Guided Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Peripheral Anionic Site Selective and Brain Permeable Novel Oxadiazole-Piperazine Conjugates against Alzheimer's Disease with Antioxidant Potential.

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial and emerging neurological disorder, which has invoked researchers to develop multitargeted ligands. Herein, hybrid conjugates of 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole and piperazines were rationally designed, synthesized, and pharmacologically evaluated against hAChE, hBChE, and hBACE-1 enzymes for the management of AD. Among the series, compound 5AD comprising pyridyl substitution at terminal nitrogen of piperazine contemplated as a paramount lead compound (hAChE, IC₅₀ = 0.103 ± 0.0172 μM, hBChE, IC₅₀ ≥ 10 μM, and hBACE-1, IC₅₀ = 1.342 ± 0.078 μM). Compound 5AD showed mixed-type enzyme inhibition in enzyme kinetic studies against the hAChE enzyme. In addition, compound 5AD revealed a significant displac
