Thus, both iron ion chelators and MAO-B inhibitors can be used to treat AD. Taking the coumarin derivatives and hydroxypyridinones as the lead compounds, a series of dual-target hybrids were designed and synthesised by Click Chemistry. The compounds were biologically evaluated for their iron ion chelating and MAO-B inhibitory activity. Most of the compounds displayed excellent iron ion chelating activity and moderate to good anti-MAO-B activity. Compounds 27b and 27j exhibited the most potent MAO-B inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.68 and 0.86£¿¦ÌM, respectively. In summary, these dual-target compounds have the potential anti-AD activity %U https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14756366.2019.1634703
