Popis: The present paper explicates the synthesis of 1H-1,2,3-triazole tethered tacrine-chalcone conjugates and evaluation of their AChE and BuChE inhibitory activity. In-vitroAChE inhibition assay revealed three compounds, 9h, 9i, and 11f, being more potent than the standard drug tacrine and further evaluated against butyrylcholinesterase. The present study was extended to investigate the anti-amnestic effect of promising compoundson scopolamine-induced behavioral and neurochemical changes in mice. Inclined plane model and Elevated plus-maze model were performed to assess general limb motor activity and anxiety-like behavior, respectively, in mice pre-treated with scopolamine. Oxidative stress parameters reduced glutathione contents (GSH) and lipid peroxidation products (TBARS) in the brain homogenates as estimated using ex-vivo studies. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed for the potent compounds to decipher the mechanism of observed activities.
