Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Multitarget 7-Alcoxyamino-3-(1,2,3-triazole)-coumarins as Potent Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Background: Multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs), particularly those combining cholinesterase inhibition with additional mechanisms, are promising candidates for Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. Based on our previous identification of a dual-active coumarin derivative, we designed a new series of 7-alkoxyamino-3-(1,2,3-triazole)-coumarins. Methods: These compounds were synthesized by a new Sonogashira protocol and evaluated for AChE and BChE inhibition, enzymatic kinetics, molecular docking, neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells, neuroprotection against H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress, and additional interactions with H₃R and MAOs. Results: All derivatives inhibited AChE with IC₅₀ values of 4-104 nM, displaying high selectivity over
