(NJC) (Recevied on 28/6/2010) (Accepted for publication 29/11/2010) Abstract This study is designed to show the effect of fifteen heterocyclic compounds on the activity of AChE in sera, all compounds showed strong inhibition ranging between (80.3 %-93.7%) at concentration up to 1x 10 -2 M.it was found that the percentage of inhibition is increased with the increase of concentration of inhibitors and 3-phenyl-6-[5'nito-2'-furyl)ethyl]-1,2,4triazole[3,4,6], [1,3,4] thiodiazole (9) was the most effective inhibitors. Kinetic properties of these inhibitors are studied and Lineweaver -Burk plots were nused to determine the type of inhibition, all studied compounds behaved as non-competitive inhibitors. The mechanism of action of heterocyclic compounds as inhibitor to serum AChE activity was suggested. الخالصة د را ةثة سم ةثة مثر مثن المرا بثاق الحلق يثة ت يثر المتجاف ةثة لثن فعال يثة ا فث يم ا هثثرق المرا بثثاق المدر ةثثة تثثاطير تط ي طثثي ث تر ا حثثق الف ةثثبة الم يثثة اال فث يم مثن ) ا لثن ا ل يثة لتط ثي7 ا هثرق المرا بثاق المدر ةثة لع مثثك هثثذر اال ةثثيتايك اث لين ا ةثثتري فثثي م نثثك دم االف ةثثان ح يث تث داد مثثا يثثاد ترا يث المطب طثثاق ح يث . م الر 0- تم في هذا الب حث ان ف ةثثبة التط ثثي لثثن فعال يثثة اال فث يم 02 * 0 بأةتسدام التراي% 7809 - % 3208 ين [ طايادا يثا4,3,1] , [6,4,3] للتط ي د ل حظ ان للمراب ت را يثا اذلك ت مثق د را ةثة ال سث ال الحرا يثة ل هثذر المرا بثاق ح يث,بقية المراباق ل قثثد تثثم فثثي هثثذر الد را ةثثة اي عثثا ا ت ث را ال يثثة تط ثثي.اف هثثا ت ةثثلك ةثثل ك مطب طثثاق ت يثثر تفاف ةثثية . المراباق لن اف يم االةيتايك ا لين اةتري 720 National Journal of Chemistry,2010, Volume 40 المجلد األربعين0202-المجلة القطرية للكيمياء inflammatory, cardiotonic and herbicidal agent [14] . Some triazole compounds have been found to exhibit high activity against ten selected HIV mutants [15] , and other triazole compounds have been also employed as antibacterial and antifungal [16,17] agents Number of triazole compounds are endowed with large number of medical and biological activities such as tuberculostatic [18] and antimicrobial [19,20] . Introduction Heterocyclic compounds are widely distributed in anature and are essential to life, they play a vital role in the metabolism of all living cell as carbohydrate, [1] proteins and enzyme . There are a vast number of pharmacological active heterocyclic compounds, many of which are in regular clinical use. Many heterocyclic compounds are insecticides, because of there activity as nerve poisons inhibiting cholinesterase enzyme [2] . A number of heterocyclic are endowed with a large number of biological and pharmacological activities, such as antimicrobia, [1] [2], antifungal , insecticidal [3] [4] virucidal , acaricidal antiinflammatory and central nervous system [5,6] Furthermore, some thiadiazole compounds have been found to exhibit antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer activities [7] , and some compounds have shown to possess analgesic properties and exhibit a marked activity in the control of [8] bacterial growth . Some biological properties of thiadiazoles are worthy of consideration because of their activities as fungicides, parasiticides and amebicides [9] . Moreover, some thiadiazol compounds are reputed for exhibiting moderate tumor inhibitory properties as well as their uses as anti tubercular [1] , anti carcinogenic [20] , and muscle relaxant agents [11] . Investigators have demonstrated that some triazole compounds exhibit fungicidal properties [12,13] , and some are useful as anti Experimental Different heterocyclic compounds were examined, regarding their effects on the activity of AChE. The solubility of these compounds in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent, and the stock solution of each compound (0.5M) were prepared. The effect of the solvent DMSO on the activity of AChE was tested and did not show any inhibitory effect [14]. The percentage of inhibition was calculated at different concentrations (1X10-2 – 1x10-8) M for each compound. The different concentrations of the compounds were prepared by dilution with DMSO using the stock solution. Procedure: AChE activity was measured in human senim using the modified Ellman method [15] as follows: (50 µl) of DTNB solution (0.001 M) was added to 2.25 ml of phosphate buffer solution (l ml of inhibitor mixed with 1.25 ml of buffer (pH=7.3, 0.2 M), then (10µl) of serum was added, mixed well and (2 ml) of the mixture was transferred to a measuring cell (3 mm), then (34 µl) of ASChI (0.06M) was added, the change in absorbency was measured before and after'adding the substrate at (430 nm) for (3 min). The inhibition percentage was calculated by comparing the activity with and without the inhibitor and 721 National Journal of Chemistry,2010, Volume 40 المجلد األربعين0202-المجلة القطرية للكيمياء under the same conditions, according the equation: The activity in the presence of inhibitor % Inhibition = 100- ( *)ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ100 The activitv in the absence of inhibitor Study of Inhibition Type: A constant concentration of inhibitor was used with different substrate concentrations ranging from (0.02 - 0.09 M). These different cone, were prepared from the stock solution of (0.l M) ASChl. Two concentrations (1x10-4, 1x10-6) M of compounds (2, 3, 4, 8, 10, l l , 12, 13) and (1x10-5, 1x106 ) M of compounds (1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15) were used. The enzyme activity was determined with and without the inhibitor. Using the line weaver- Burk method by plotting 1/v vs. 1/[S]V the following values were calculated: 1 ) K i value. 2) Vmapp. 3) Type of inhibition (iv) Series (IV) include compound (9) in table (1) and compound 3- phenyl- 6(5- nitro- 2- furyl) ethenyl]- 1, 2, 4triazole [3, 4, 6] [1, 3, 4] thiodiazole. All compounds in these series (I- IV) showed inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity and the relationship between inhibitor concentration and percentage of inhibition are shown in figures (1-4). The enzyme activity decreased with increased inhibitor concentration until reaches the minimal value. The highest inhibition of each compound was observed at concentration (1 * 10"2M) as shown in fig. (5). In order to understand the mechanism of inhibition of these compounds, the structural properties of each compound within series were compared according to the results in figs. (1-5)and the following findings were observed. (1) Series (I) compounds (1) and (2) exhibited higher percentage of inhibition (89 and 87.5%) respectively than the other two compounds (12 and 13) which exhibited lower percentage of inhibition (84.1% and 80.3%) respectively. This could be attributed to the presence of 5- nitrofuryl moiety in compounds (1) and (2), in addition, of substituted phenyl group in 1, 3, 4thiodiazole ring. These groups enhanced the nucleopholcity of /\ C N attack the binding site of inhibitor subsequently, decreased the activity while in compounds (12) and (13), 5- nitrofuryl moiety were absent, so the NH2 group may attack the active site of enzyme but not as in compounds (1) and (2). Results and Discussion The present work is designed to investigate the biological activity and effects of different series of heterocylic compounds (table 1) on human serum AChE activity in vitro. According to the results obtained the compounds could be Classified into four series as shown below:(i) Series (I) included 1, 3, 4Thiadiazole derivatives which are compounds (1, 2, 12, 13) as shown in table (1). (ii) Series (II) included 1, 2, 4Traizole derivatives, which are compounds (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11) in table (1). (iii) Series (III) included the substituted benzoic acid hydrazone containing 5- nitro furan moiety, this series is included compounds (14,15) in table (1). 722 National Journal of Chemistry,2010, Volume 40 This may be caused the delecolization of the pair of electrons in NH2 via N . المجلد األربعين0202-المجلة القطرية للكيمياء thiadiazol ring.

(2) Series (II) compounds inhibition can be divided into two groups according to their structures:Group which have no 5nitrofuryl moiety in its structure and includes compounds (10) 4- amino- 1, 2, 4-triazole and compound (11) 3,5diphenyl- 4- amino 1, 2, 4-traizol. 3, 5diphenyl- 4- amino 1, 2, 4- triazol shows higher percentage of inhibition (93.5%) than 4- amino-1, 2, 4- traizole which could be attributed to the presence of two phenyl groups at position 3 and 5, this conjugation of phenyl group wmv /\ C N made its availability as electron rich weaker than free NH2 group at position 4 to attack the active site of enzyme. Group £b) which have 5- nitrofuryl moiety in its structure and includes compounds:(3) 5- Amino 2- mercapto- 4- [5'nitro- 2 ' - furyl] methylene amino, 4H- 1, 2, 4- triazole. (4) 3- Mercapto- 5- (p- N02 phenyl)4H- 1, 2, 4, traizole. (5) 5- Amino- 3- mercapto- 4 [3'-( 5'- nitro- 2- furyl) prop- 2 - enylidene amino]- 4H 1, 2, 4- traizole. (6) 5- Amino- 3- hydroxy- 4 [(3'-[ 5'- nitro- 2- furyl] prop- 2 enylidene) amino]- 4H 1 , 2 , 4- traizole. (7) 3- mercapto- 4- phenyl- 5- [ (3'[5'- nitro- T - furyl] prop-2 enyliden) amino] 4H 1 , 2 , 4- traizole. Generally, The compounds of this group show higher percentage of inhibition ranged between (81.892.3%). Compound (7) shows relatively higher percentage of inhibition than compounds (8) and (4), which may be attributed to the groups that substituted at positions 4 and 5. This make the electron rich side in this compound (SH or /\ C N ) easier to approach the binding site of inhibitor. Furthermore, the binding site of inhibitor is relatively less steric than others. Compound (3) is more potent inhibitor than compound (5) in spite of the similarity of the two compounds in structure, because compound (5) has long chain (conjugation) at position 4 than compound (3) which causes decrease in the ability to attack the binding site of inhibitor, while the inhibitory effect of compound (6) is also relatively higher than compound (6) which may be attributed to the high nucleophilicity of OH group at position 3 in compound ( 6 ) , though, the presence of other nucleophilic side (e. g. NH2) in both of them. 723 المجلد األربعين0202-المجلة القطرية للكيمياء National Journal of Chemistry,2010, Volume 40 Table 1-: Heterocyclic Compounds used for interaction with AChE Comp.

Series (III), compounds (14) and (15) are very similar in their structures with the exception of the difference in substituent group at position 4 of phenyl ring, N0 2 and OCH 3 respectively. However, N0 2 group withdraws electrons from amino group and causes increase of the electrophilic characters of the \ / C N toward the binding site of inhibitor. Series (IV) compound (9) have various /\ C N group in different position, therefore its ability to attack the active site of enzyme is high. 725 National Journal of Chemistry,2010, Volume 40 The results suggested that compounds 1-15 are noncompetitive inhibitors. In non competitive type of inhibition which does not effect the combination of substrate with the enzyme, Km remained constant while V max change dramatically. Mechanism of Inhibition In the mechanism of hydrolysis ACh by AChE, the hydroxyl group of the amino acid serine is connected with the imidazole of the histidene residue via hydrogen bonding which causes increase of the nucleophilic characters of hydroxyl group to المجلد األربعين0202-المجلة القطرية للكيمياء form a covalent bond with the carbonyl carbon of acetylcholine as in scheme (1) to form enzymesubstrate complex, after that the choline molecule is released and latter the hydrolysis takes place to produce acetic acid and regenerate free enzyme [24,24,26] . The proposed mechanism of action of heterocyclic compounds as AChE inhibitors studied as indicated are shown in schemes (25) with the consideration that the inhibitor binding site is in close resemblance with the active site functional groups. 726 National Journal of Chemistry,2010, Volume 40 المجلد األربعين0202-المجلة القطرية للكيمياء C C H H - O O R1 R1 C N R2 C H O N R2 HA HA O O A1 - O - A1 N HN + A2 A2 Scheme(2) Suggested mechanism for inhibition AChE by compounds (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,14, and 15) A1= Ser, Glu, Asp, and Tyr A2= His, Lys, Arg, Gln, and Asn R1 R2 N 1 O N S NO 2 CH3 N 2 HC C O N 3 N O 2N S NO 2 N H2N N SH O NO 2 Ph p-NO 2 4 N O NH NO 2 N HS N 5 N H2N N N 6 7 HC SH C O NO 2 C O NO 2 N N N H2N N HC OH HC N C O SH NO 2 Ph N N 8 N N N CH CH N N O N HC C O CH NO 2 N N HC CH O NO 2 O 14 HN O C NO 2 NO 2 O 15 HN O NO 2 727 C NO 2 NO 2 National Journal of Chemistry,2010, Volume 40 المجلد األربعين0202-المجلة القطرية للكيمياء C C ..NH2 R O - O R HA H + N H H O - O A OH O H A1 N A1 N A2 A2 Scheme(3) Suggested mechanism for inhibition AChE by compounds (3,5,6,10,11,12, and 13) A1= Ser, Glu, Asp, and Tyr A2= His, Lys, Arg, Gln, and Asn R N N 3 N SH N CH O N 5 N SH N N 6 10 CH CH O NO 2 OH N CH CH CH O NO 2 N N N 11 CH N N N NO 2 N Ph N N N Ph N 12 O CH3 S N N O 13 C S S Ph 728 المجلد األربعين0202-المجلة القطرية للكيمياء National Journal of Chemistry,2010, Volume 40 C O O - O C R2 C H O R2 HA HA O O A1 - O O R1 R1 C - A1 N HN + A2 A2 Scheme(4) Suggested mechanism for inhibition AChE by compounds (13,14, and 15) A1= Ser, Glu, Asp, and Tyr A2= His, Lys, Arg, Gln, and Asn R1 R2 N N Ph 13 S 14 S NH2 NO 2 N HN 15 O NO 2 O NO 2 OCH 3 N HN C Ph C Ph N O 2N O CH N .. ..
