Abstract:
Aim: The objective of the present study was to design, synthesize and evaluate diverse Schiff bases and thiazolidin-4-one derivatives of aminothiazole as key pharmacophores possessing acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Materials & methods: Two series of compounds (13 each) were synthesized and evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase inhibition and antioxidant activity. Molecular docking of all compounds was performed to provide an insight into their binding interactions. Results: Compounds 2j (IC50 = 0.03 μM) and 3e (IC50 = 1.58 μM) were found to be the best acetylcholinesterase inhibitors among compounds of their respective series. Molecular docking analysis supported the results of in vitro activity by displaying good docking scores with the binding pocket of human acetylcholinesterase (Protein Data Bank ID: 4EY7). Conclusion: Compound 2j emerged as a potential lead compound with excellent acetylcholinesterase inhibition, antioxidant and chelation activity.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
