Synthesis and in vitro α-glucosidase and cholinesterases inhibitory actions of watersoluble metallophthalocyanines bearing ({6-[3-(diethylamino)phenoxy]hexyl}oxy groups

In this paper, we have prepared peripherally tetra-({6-[3-(diethylamino)phenoxy]hexyl}oxy substituted cobalt(II), copper(II), manganese(III) phthalocyanines (3, 4, 5) and their water-soluble derivatives (3a, 4a, 5a). Then, in vitro α-glucosidase and cholinesterases inhibitory actions of the water-soluble 3a, 4a, 5a were examined using spectrophotometric methods. 4a had the highest inhibitory effects among the tested compounds against α-glucosidase due to $IC_{50}$ values. 4a and 5a had 40 fold higher inhibitory effects than the positive control. For cholinesterases, the compounds showed significant inhibitory actions that of galantamine which was used as a positive control. According to the SI value, 3a inhibited acetylcholinesterase enzyme selectively. In kinetic studies, 4a was a mixed inhibitor for α-glucosidase, 3a was a competitive inhibitor for AChE, and 4a was a mixed inhibitor for BuChE. The therapeutic potential of these compounds has been demonstrated by in vitro studies, but these data should be supported by further studies.
