Thirteen novel pyrazole-1,3,5-triazine derivatives were synthesized and assessed for their potential as cholinesterase inhibitors.The structure of the compounds was characterized through 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and HRMS.The purity of all compounds was determined by HPLC.The structure of compound 4j was further investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and compound 4j possesses a monoclinic crystal system with space group P21/c.The mol. conformation, crystal packing mode, and mol. interactions were discussed in depth through Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint diagrams.The in vitro enzyme inhibitory activity assays determined that all compounds showed weak inhibitory activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and some compounds had selective inhibitory effect on butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE).Among them, compound 4h (Et 1-(4-chloro-6-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate) exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on BuChE, with an IC50 value of 1.03 ± 0.29 μM, closely approaching that of the pos. control donepezil (IC50 = 0.52 ± 0.04 μM).Mol. docking experiments demonstrated stable interaction between compound 4h and key amino acids in both the catalytic active site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of BuChE.Mol. dynamics simulations show that compound 4h can stably bind to BuChE.Simultaneously, the experiment further substantiated that compound 4h exhibited an excellent metal chelating effect with Cu(II).Furthermore, the prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) properties indicated characteristics suggestive of potential drug candidacy for these compoundsHence, compound 4h may be a selective BuChE inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease.
