Abstract

A library of Sox-pyrrolizidines was rapidly prepared by microwave-assisted, one-pot, three-component, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides from l-proline and isatin, with various β-nitrostyrenes. Nitro-Sox compounds, 4b, 4d and 4e inhibit HEWL amyloid fibril formation by ThT studies with percentages of fluorescence intensity of 55.4, 42.9 and 40.3%, respectively. Further studies with MTT assay, Raman spectroscopy, TEM and molecular docking supported these promising candidates for activity against amyloid misfolding, a phenomenon leading to Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
