Reversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors are key therapeutic tools to modulate the cholinergic connectivity compromised in several degenerative pathologies. In this work, four alkyl esters of homarine were synthesized and screened by using Electrophorus electricus AChE and rat brain AChE-rich fraction. Results showed that all homarine alkyl esters are able to inhibit AChE by a competitive inhibition mode. The effectiveness of AChE inhibition increases with the alkyl side chain length of the homarine esters, being HO?C16 (IC50=7.57±3.32 μM and Ki=18.96±2.28 μM) the most potent inhibitor. The fluorescence quenching studies confirmed that HO?C16 is the compound with higher selectivity and affinity for the tryptophan residues in the catalytic active site of AChE. Preliminary cell viability studies showed that homarine esters display no toxicity for human neuronal SH-SY5Y cells. Thus, the long-chain homarine esters emerge as new anti-cholinesterase agents, with potential to be considered for therapeutic applications development.

An effective method for alkoxycarbonylation of (hetero)aryl bromides is developed in the presence of in situ-generated phosphinite ligands tBu2POR (R = nBu, nPr, Et or Me). For this purpose commercially available tBu2PCl was used as the pre-ligand in the presence of different alcohols. For the first time cross coupling reactions with two alcohols-one generating the ligand, the other used as substrate-were developed. Through this method, ligand optimization can be performed in a more efficient manner and the desired products could be obtained with good yields and selectivity.

Abstract A series of novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized, and their structures were characterized by IR, UV-Vis, FL, NMR, ESI-MS, and elemental analysis. In the meanwhile, the single crystal structures of 3,4-diethyl-5-(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole and 3,4-dimethyl-5-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole were determined by X-ray diffraction.
