A series of LX2343 derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as neuroprotective agents for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in vitro. Most of the compounds displayed potent neuroprotective activities. Especially for compound A6, exhibited a remarkable EC50 value of 0.22 μM. Further investigation demonstrated that compound A6 can significantly reduce Aβ production and increase Aβ clearance, and alleviate Tau hyperphosphorylation. Most importantly, compound A6 could ameliorate learning and memory impairments in APP/PS1 transgenic mice. The present study evidently showed that compound A6 is a potent neuroprotective agent and might serve as a promising lead candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
