Abstract

During past 15 years, any new agent that was investigated in clinical trials on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients has not been approved in the market. One of the main problems in successful development of the agents for CNS neurodegenerative disorders treatment related to multifactorial nature of such diseases. In this relation. design of multitarget drugs was focused that simultaneously act on several biotargets connected to pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases looks as a promising strategy for developing new generation of neuroprotective CNS agents. In the present work, we present the results of design and synthesis of novel polypharmacophore agents superposing in one molecule several structural pharmacophore fragments of already validated neuroprotective agents. In particular, synthesis and study of conjugates of phenothiazine (methylene blue) and gamma-carboline (Dimebon) derivatives, as well as conjugates of adamantine (memantine) and carbazole derivatives was performed. Currently several lead-compounds successfully passed preclinical trials and ready to be moved on further clinical study.
