Anti-Alzheimer activity of new coumarin-based derivatives targeting acetylcholinesterase inhibition

Abstract

study investigated the amelioration in the cognitive function of AD-rats treated with 4c through the T-maze and beam balance behavioural tests. Also, 4c detectably ameliorated MDA and GSH, reaching 90.64 and 27.17%, respectively, in comparison to the standard drug (90.64% and 35.03% for MDA and GSH, respectively). The molecular docking study exhibited a good fitting of compound 4c in the active site of the AChE enzyme and a promising safety profile. Compound 4c exhibited a promising anti-Alzheimer's disease efficiency compared to the standard drug donepezil.
