1. The urgency of the thesis
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia
in the elderly, is affecting millions of people worldwide. The ailment
is characterized by a complex neurodegenerative process occurring
in the central nervous system which leads to progressive cognitive
decline and memory loss. [1] The etiology of AD is not fully known,
although factors including the low levels of acetylcholine (ACh),
accumulation of abnormal proteins namely -amyloid and -protein,
homeostasis irregularity of biometals, and oxidative stress are
considered to play significant roles in the pathophysiology of AD.[2]
At the present , clinical therapy for AD patients is primarily
established upon the cholinergic hypothesis which suggests that the
decline of the ACh level might lead to cognitive and memory
deficits, and drugs with the ability of inhibiting acetylcholinesterase
(AChE) would control symptoms of the disease.[1]
Chalcone is a sub-group of flavonoid and is the intermediary in
the synthesis process of other flavonoids, pyrazoline, isoxazole, and
quinolinylpyrimidine. There are a lot of chalcone compounds which
are reported to have a diverse array of bioactivities such as
antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, antitumoral, and other
characteristics such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiulce. Recent
studies on the bioactivities of chalcone compounds have also
revealed their abilities in inhibiting enzymes including urease, -
glucosidase, lipoxygenase, acetylcholinesterase, mammalian alpha-
amylase, xanthine oxidase58, monoamine oxidase (MAO), and -
secretase. In addition, it was reported that chalcone derivatives
exhibit high binding affinity to A aggregates in vitro, and they
1
- could serve as a useful mean for in vivo imaging of A plaques in
Alzheimer’s brain.[2-4] The studies on bioactivities of chalcone
derivatives on the function of human brain promise the finding of
new drugs for the treatment of many diseases including AD.
From the above scientific bases, the research project "Design,
synthesis and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity evaluation of
chalcone derivatives for the discovery of new anti-alzheimer drugs"
was conducted.
2. The objectives of the thesis
Molecular docking studies on acetylcholinesterase were performed to
predict the chalcone structure has good in silico AChE
acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. The potential chalcone
compounds were synthesized and studied for their in vitro and in
vivo AChE inhibitory activities.
3 . The main contents of the thesis
- The molecular binding abilities of chalcone derivatives with ACHE
were elucidated by docking procedure to predict the chalcone
structure has good in silico AChE acetylcholinesterase inhibitory
activity.
- The potential chalcone compounds were synthesized and studied
for their in vitro and in vivo AChE inhibitory activities.
Chapter 1. OVERVIEW
1.1. Alzheimer disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia
in the elderly, is affecting millions of people worldwide. The ailment
is characterized by a complex neurodegenerative process occurring
2
- in the central nervous system which leads to progressive cognitive
decline and memory loss. [1] The etiology of AD is not fully known,
although factors including the low levels of acetylcholine,
accumulation of abnormal proteins namely -amyloid and -protein,
homeostasis irregularity of biometals, and oxidative stress are
considered to play significant roles in the pathophysiology of AD.[12]
At the present , clinical therapy for AD patients is primarily
established upon the cholinergic hypothesis which suggests that the
decline of the ACh level might lead to cognitive and memory
deficits, and drugs with the ability of inhibiting acetylcholinesterase
(AChE) would control symptoms of the disease.[1]
1.2. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
Acetylcholinesterase (acetycholine acetylhydrolase, E.C. 3.1.1.7) [11]
is involved in the hydrolysis of acetylcholine, an essential
neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, into choline. This
enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine at neuronal synapses, and at neuromuscular junctions,
at the end of the signaling process. In certain neurological disorders
such as Alzheimer’s disease, acetylcholinesterase is overactivated in
the synapses so that levels of acetylcholine in the brains is
significantly diminished, which leads to weakened neurotransmission
and thereby memory loss and other adverse effects.
1.3. Chalcone
Chalcones (1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one) are open chain flavonoids
with a 15-carbon structure arranged in a C6-C3-C6 configuration.
They consist in two phenolic rings (A and B rings) connected by a
3C bridge with a double bond between α- and β-positions, which
confers them a particularly singular structure.[16]

1.4. Molecular Docking
Molecular docking is an attractive scaffold to understand
drugbiomolecular interactions for the rational drug design and
discovery, as well as in the mechanistic study by placing a molecule
(ligand) into the preferred binding site of the target specific region of
the DNA/protein (receptor) mainly in a non-covalent fashion to form
a stable complex of potential efficacy and more specificity. The
information obtained from the docking technique can be used to
suggest the binding energy, free energy and stability of complexes.
At present, docking technique is utilized to predict the tentative
binding parameters of ligand-receptor complex beforehand.[21]
1.5. In vitro screening for acetylcholinesterase inhibition
AChE inhibitory activity was determined spectrophotometrically
using the Ellman's colorimetric method. ACHE hydrolyzes the
substrate ATCI to thiocholine and acetic acid. Thiocholine is allowed
to react with DTNB, and this reaction resulted in the development of
a yellow color. The color intensity of the product is measured at 405
nm, and it is proportional to the enzyme activity.[27]
1.6. Short-term memory impairment models
Loss of memory is among the first symptoms reported by patients
suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) and by their caretakers.
4
- Currently, short-term memory impairment models are widely used in
the treatment of AD.[27]
The Y-maze model and Novel Object Recognition model are quick
and useful initial tests to study short-term memory.
Chapter 2. CONDITION AND EXPERIMENTAL METHOD
2.1. Time and place of study
Time: 1 11 2011 01/05/2017
Place: Labs of Department of Pharmacology, Department of
Pharmaceutical, Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Pharmacy,
Ho Chi Minh City Medicine and Pharmacy University.
2.2. Experimental content and method
2.2.1. Experimental content
The molecular binding abilities of chalcone derivatives with ACHE
were elucidated by docking procedure to predict the chalcone
structure has strong in silico AChE acetylcholinesterase inhibitory
activity. The potential chalcone compounds were synthesized by
Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. These chalcone compounds
are studied for their in vitro and in vivo AChE inhibitory activities.
2.2.2. Experimental method
Molecular Docking Study
The Protein Data Bank crystallographic structure of TcAChE(-)-
Galantamine complex (pdb 1DX6)67 was used as receptor model in
this study. The 3D structure of the crystallographic complex was
rendered by means of BioSolveIT LeadIt. The active site was defined
as all the important amino acid residues enclosed within a radius
sphere of 6.5 Å centered by the bound ligand, galantamine. All
unbound water molecules were eliminated and the structures of
5
- amino acid residues were checked before re-establishing the active
site of the enzyme.
Docking process of 107 chalcone derivatives (35 normal chalcone
derivatives, 24 heterocyclic chalcone derivatives, 32
benzylaminochalcone derivatives and 16 promazine chalcone
derivatives) was performed in BioSolveIT LeadIt with the following
options: the method in which base fragment placed in binding pocket
was Triangle Matching; the maximum number of solutions per
iteration was set to 1 000; the maximum number of solutions per
fragmentation was set to 200; the number of poses to keep for further
analysis of interaction was set to 10. The best conformation is the
one that has the most minus docking score. This score was the total
energy emitted from the formation of binding between the molecules
and the active site.
General Procedures for the Preparation of chalcone derivatives
Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction was applied to synthesize
chalcone derivatives (Scheme 2.1). The reaction of acetophenone and
benzaldehyde derivatives in KOH/MeOH was followed by an
acidification with concentrated HCl provided chalcone derivatives
with satisfactory yields after recrystallized from appropriate solvents.
The structures and purities of the target compounds were confirmed by
UV, MS, IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra.

- In vitro Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity assay
AChE inhibitory activities of chalcones were determined using
purified acetylcolinesterase from electric eel (Sigma, Type VI) and
acetylthiocholine iodide (Sigma) as a substrate with the colourimetric
method of Ellman66. Galantamine, ATCI (acetylthiocholin iodide),
and DTNB (5,5’-dithio-bis-nitro benzoic acid) were purchased from
Sigma. This assay was performed in 96-well microtiter plates in the
same condition for both chalcones and control substance
(galantamine).
In vivo Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity assay
The best ACHE inhibitory chalcone derivative is tested for their
ability to improve memory dysfunction in mice using two short-term
memory impairment models: Y - maze model and Novel Object
Recognition model based on Tran Phi Hoang Yen model (2007).[28]
Chapter 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Molecular Docking Study
3.1.1. Re-docking result of co-crystallized ligand
Re-docking results of galantamine showed that interactions made
by re-docked conformations with the active site were resemble those
of the original bound ligand in 1DX6. The RMSD values of re-
docked conformations were < 1.5 Å (Table 3.1) indicated that the
molecular model could be applied to explain the interactions of new
ligands with the active site.
