IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.
AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.
EnglishWe synthesized a set of new hybrid derivatives (7-C8, 7-C10, 7-C12 and 8-C8, 8-C10, 8-C12), in which a polymethylene spacer chain of variable length connected the pharmacophoric moiety of xanomeline, an M1/M4-preferring orthosteric muscarinic agonist, with that of tacrine, a well-known acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor able to allosterically modulate muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs). When tested in vitro in a colorimetric assay for their ability to inhibit AChE, the new compounds showed higher or similar potency compared to that of tacrine. Docking analyses were performed on the most potent inhibitors in the series (8-C8, 8-C10, 8-C12) to rationalize their experimental inhibitory power against AChE. Next, we evaluated the signaling cascade at M1 mAChRs by exploring the interaction of Gαq-PLC-β3 proteins through split luciferase assays and the myo-Inositol 1 phosphate (IP1) accumulation in cells. The results were compared with those obtained on the known derivatives 6-C7 and 6-C10, two quite potent AChE inhibitors in which tacrine is linked to iperoxo, an exceptionally potent muscarinic orthosteric activator. Interestingly, we found that 6-C7 and 6-C10 behaved as partial agonists of the M1 mAChR, at variance with hybrids 7-Cn and 8-Cn containing xanomeline as the orthosteric molecular fragment, which were all unable to activate the receptor subtype response.
