AB  - Humanity is facing a vast prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) being the most dominant, without efficacious drugs, and with only a few therapeutic targets identified. In this scenario, we aim to find molecular entities that modulate imidazoline I2 receptors (I2-IRs) that have been pointed out as relevant targets in AD. In this work, we explored structural modifications of well-established I2-IR ligands, giving access to derivatives with an imidazole-linked heterocycle as a common key feature. We report the synthesis, the affinity in human I2-IRs, the brain penetration capabilities, the in silico ADMET studies, and the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies of this new bunch of I2-IR ligands. Selected compounds showed neuroprotective properties and beneficial effects in an in vitro model of Parkinson’s disease, rescued the human dopaminergic cell line SH-SY5Y from death after treatment with 6-hydroxydopamine, and showed crucial anti-inflammatory effects in a cellular model of neuroinflammation. After a preliminary pharmacokinetic study, we explored the action of our representative 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-1H-imidazole LSL33 in a mouse model of AD (5xFAD). Oral administration of LSL33 at 2 mg/Kg for 4 weeks ameliorated 5XFAD cognitive impairment and synaptic plasticity, as well as reduced neuroinflammation markers. In summary, this new I2-IR ligand that promoted beneficial effects in a well-established AD mouse model should be considered a promising therapeutic strategy for neurodegeneration.

AB  - Imidazoline I2 receptors (I2-IR), widely distributed in the CNS and altered in patients that suffer from neurodegenerative disorders, are orphans from a structural point of view, and new I2-IR ligands are urgently required for improving their pharmacological characterization. We report the synthesis and three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies of a new family of bicyclic α-iminophosphonates endowed with relevant affinities for human brain I2-IR. Acute treatment in mice with a selected compound significantly decreased Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) in the hippocampus, a key signaling mediator of neuroprotective actions. Additionally, in vivo studies in the familial Alzheimer's disease 5xFAD murine model revealed beneficial effects in behavior and cognition. These results are supported by changes in molecular pathways related to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, bicyclic α-iminophosphonates are tools that may open new therapeutic avenues for I2-IR, particularly for unmet neurodegenerative conditions.

AB  - 2-Imidazoline-containing compounds constitute a valuable class of agents that modulate α2-
adrenergic receptors and often show a high affinity for imidazoline I2-receptors (I2-IR). Moreover, 2-
imidazolines are an important class of heterocyclic scaffolds found in natural product chemistry,
coordination chemistry, and homogeneous catalysis. To meet the demand for 2-imidazolinecontaining
compounds, different synthetic approximations were developed. In this work, we
describe an efficient and user-friendly synthetic process involving the combination of isocyanidebased
multicomponent reaction and microwave heating without the need of anhydrous atmosphere
or additional solvents that generates unprecedented (2-imidazolin-4-yl)phosphonates [1].
We assessed the pharmacological profile and selectivity of the prepared compounds upon I2-IR.
Owing to the outstanding high I2-IR affinity of one of the prepared compounds and high selectivity
devoid to the α2-adrenoceptor of other compounds, markedly better than any described I2-IR ligand
to date, (2-imidazolin-4-yl)phosphonates might be considered as a suitable scaffold for designing
novel I2-IR ligands [2]. In addition, we demonstrated the effectiveness of two of the new I2-IR ligands
in an in vivo female model for cognitive decline (SAMP8), and we analyzed the pathological
biomarkers for neurodegeneration. This study is the first experimental evidence that demonstrates
the possibility of using this receptor as a target for cognitive impairment [3].
Note, theoretical studies were carried out for designing compounds with enhanced activity and
selectivity upon I2-IR based on created 3D-QSAR model.
In this work, green chemistry to access an unprecedented scaffold and promising pharmacological
results in the neurodegeneration field walked together.
