Abstract

Galanthamine derivatives are known for their AChE inhibitory activity. Among them, galanthamine has been approved for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. N-Acetylnorgalanthamine (narcisine) and N-(2'-methyl)allylnorgalanthamine (the most potent natural AChE Inhibitor of galanthamine type) were synthetized using N-norgalanthamine as a precursor. The NMR data described previously for narcisine were revised by two-dimensional 1H-1H and 1H-13C chemical shift correlation experiments. AChE inhibitory assays showed that N-acetylnorgalanthamine and N-formylnorgalanthamine (with previously unknown activity) are 4- and 43-times, respectively, less potent than galanthamine. In vitro (AChE inhibitory) and in silico (docking, ADME) assays and comparison of N-(2'-methyl)allylnorgalanthamine with galanthamine prove that this molecule is a very promising natural AChE Inhibitor (33-times more potent than galanthamine) which further in vivo studies would provide better estimation about its applicability as a drug.
