An extensive study was performed to discover a series of novel 20(R)-panaxadiol derivatives with various substituents at the 3-OH position as nontoxic, brain-permeable, multi-target leads for treating Alzheimer's disease.In vitroanalysis revealed that a compound bearing benzyl-substituted carbamate, which we denoted compound14a, exhibited the most potent neuroprotective activity, with an EC50of 13.17 μM. The neuroprotective effect of compound14awas slightly more potent than that of donepezil and much more potent than that of 20(R)-panaxadiol. Compound14aat 7.5–120 μM exhibited low toxicity in various cell lines. In addition, compound14aexhibited a wide range of biological activities, including inhibiting apoptosis; inducing tau hyperphosphorylation; affecting beta-amyloid (Aβ), β-secretase, reactive oxygen species, tumor necrosis factor-α, cyclooxygenase-2, and interleukin-1β production; and promoting Aβ25-35disaggregation. The effective permeability of compound14aacross the blood-brain barrier was 26.13 × 10−6cm/s, indicating that it can provide adequate exposure in the central nervous system. Further, compound14aimproved learning, memory, and novel object recognition in mice, andin vivotoxicity experiments confirmed a good therapeutic safety range. Thus, compound14ais a promising multifunctional lead for treating Alzheimer's disease and offers new avenues for natural product-derived anti-Alzheimer's disease drugs.
