ASS234 is a brain-penetrant and orally active multi-target small molecule (MTSM) against (acetyl & butyryl) cholinesterases (hAChE/hBuChE IC50 = 0.81/1.82 μM), monoamine oxidases (hMAO-A/B IC50 = 0.27/120 nM), histamine H3 receptor (hH3R Ki = 84.2 nM; hH4R Ki >10 μM) and sigma-1/2 receptors (hS1R/rS2R = 2.82/50.3 nM). ASS234 exhibits antioxidative and neuroprotective effects in SH-SY5Y cultures (5 μM) and demonstrates therapeutic efficacy in neurodegerative disease models in vivo via sc. (0.62 mg/kg/d mice; 5 mg/kg rats), ip. (1 mg/kg mice) or po. (1 & 10 mg/kg mice).
Orally active, brain-penetrant, multi-target ligand against MAO-A/B, cholinesterases, H3 & sigma receptors with neuroprotective and pro-cognitive efficacy in vivo.

Neurodegenerative disorders are associated with different neurochemical and morphological alterations in the brain leading to cognitive and behavioural impairments. New therapeutic strategies comprise multifunctional drugs. The aim of the presented studies is to evaluate in vivo the novel compounds -
