Development of Multi-Target Directed Ligands (MTDLs) has emerged as a promising approach for targeting complex
etiology of Alzheimer�s disease (AD). Following this approach, a new series of 2-phenyl-1-benzopyran-4-one derivatives
were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterases (AChEs), advanced glycation end
products formation (AGEs) and also for their radical scavenging activity. The in vitro studies showed that the majority of
synthesized derivatives inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with IC50 values in the low-micromolar range. Among them,
inhibitors 7h, 7k and 7a, strongly inhibited AChE, with IC50 value of 6.33, 7.56 and 11.0 nM, respectively, and were more potent
than the reference compound donepezil. Moreover, the molecular docking study displayed that most potent compounds
simultaneously bind to catalytic active site and peripheral anionic site of AChE. Besides, these compounds also exhibited greater
ability to inhibit advanced glycation end products formation with additional radical scavenging property. Thus, 2-phenyl-1-
benzopyran-4-one derivatives might be the promising lead compound as potential poly-functional anti-Alzheimer�s agents.
