ABSTRACT
A series of novel N-acyl-thiochromenothiazol-2-amine derivatives were designed and synthesized, furthermore, their inhibition effect on acetylcholinesterase was investigated. N-Acyl-thiochromenothiazol-2-amines were prepared from thiophenol by Hantzsch reaction, acylation reaction and substitution reaction. Moreover, their bioactivities as AChE inhibitors in vitro were measured with Ellman spectrophotometry. The results showed that most of them had a certain inhibition activity on AChE, and the compound 10a was the best in them. The IC50 of 10a to AChE is 7.92 μmol x L(-1), and the value is better than that of rivastigmine. N-Acyl-thiochromenothiazol-2-amine derivatives showed a certain bioactivity in vitro, which were worth further investigation.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
N-Acyl-4-phenylthiazole-2-amines were designed and synthesized, moreover their effects on acetylcholinesterase activities were tested. N-Acyl-4-phenylthiazole-2-amines were prepared from substituted 2-bromo-1-acetophenones by three steps reaction, and their AChE inhibitory activities were measured by Ellman method in vitro. The results showed that the target compounds had a certain inhibitory activity on AChE in vitro. Among them, 8c was the best, and IC50 of 8c was 0.51 micromol x L(-1), better than that of rivastigmine and Huperzine-A. The inhibitory activities of N-acyl-4-phenylthiazole-2-amines on acetylcholinesterase are worth while to be further studied.
ABSTRACT
Aim To elucidate the therapeutic effect of ginsenosides, berberine and jasminoidin after given a-lone or treatment with combination on the focal cerebral ischemia rats and study the compatibility mechanism. Methods We determined 12 endogenous amino acids in serum of rats after cerebral ischemia over 12 hours with RRLC-QQQ to evaluate the integrated role of YQJD at the dosage of 25 mg·kg-1 and 5 mg·kg-1 . Generally accepted methods were used, including be-havior test, One-Way AVONA, PLS-DA, as well as PCA to evaluate the injury induced by focal cerebral is-chemia. Results The score of neurological deficits and the level of five amino acids, namely Glu, Asp, Met, Hcy, Phe in the combination of ginsenosides, berberine and jasminoidin group in the dosage of 25 mg ·kg-1 and 5 mg·kg-1 significantly decreased (P<0. 05, P<0. 01) compared to those of model group. For another, the largest contribution group in the three principal components of PC1 , PC3 , PC4 at the dosage of 25 mg/kg and the six principal components PC1 ~PC5, PC7 in 5 mg·kg-1 was the combination of gin-senosides, berberine, jasminoidin group. Conclusions The results suggest that the efficacy of the combina-tion of ginsenosides, berberine and jasminoidin is su-perior to the combination of two or any single compo-nent, which can significantly improve the metabolic disorder of the endogenous amino acid after cerebral is-chemia. And it could be speculated that ginsenosides may play a more important role than berberine and jas-minoidin in regulating the level of amino acid metabo-lism.
