ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to explore the anticholinesterase inhibition
property of eugenol derived molecules. Ten eugenol derivatives were synthesized
and evaluated for the inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) by Ellman’s method. Most of the tested
derivatives showed higher inhibition on BChE than AChE, however, their overall
inhibitory activity was weak. In contrast, three derivatives (compounds 3,6,9) showed higher and good AChE inhibitory activity of more than 50%
inhibition at 10 µg/mL. Among them, compound 9 bearing a ethyl substituent at para position of the benzoyl ring showed the
most potent AChE inhibition, with IC50 of 5.64 µg/mL. Ligand-protein
docking simulation was also performed for the most active derived molecules
(compounds 3,6,9).
Keywords: Acetylcholinesterase; butyrylcholinesterase;
eugenol derivatives; molecular docking
ABSTRAK
Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengetahui sifat perencatan antikolinesterase bagi terbitan eugenol. Sepuluh terbitan eugenol telah disintesis dan dikaji untuk aktiviti perencatan terhadap asetilkolinesterase (AChE) dan butirilkolinesterase (BChE) melalui kaedah Ellman. Kebanyakan terbitan yang diuji menunjukkan aktiviti perencatan yang lebih tinggi terhadap BChE berbanding AChE, walau bagaimanapun, secara keseluruhannya aktiviti perencatan adalah lemah. Sebaliknya, tiga terbitan (sebatian 3,6,9) menunjukkan aktiviti perencatan AChE yang tinggi dan bagus iaitu lebih daripada 50% perencatan pada 10 µg/mL. Antara sebatian tersebut, sebatian 9 yang mempunyai penukarganti etil pada kedudukan para benzena menunjukkan
perencatan AChE yang paling kuat, dengan IC505.64 µg/mL. Simulasi
doking protein ligan juga dilakukan untuk molekul yang paling aktif (sebatian 3,6,9).
Kata kunci: Asetilkolinesterase; butirilkolinesterase; doking molekul; terbitan eugenol
