Abstract
Increasing evidence indicates that heterocyclic molecules possess properties against butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymatic activity, which is a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, this study aimed to further evaluate the relationship between heterocyclic molecules and their biological activities. A dataset of 38 selective and potent heterocyclic compounds (-log[the half‑maximal inhibitory concentration (pIC50)]) values ranging from 8.02 to 10.05) was applied to construct a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study, including Bayesian model average (BMA), artificial neural network (ANN), multiple nonlinear regression (MNLR), and multiple linear regression (MLR) models. Four models met statistical acceptance in internal and external validation. The ANN model was superior to other models in predicting the pIC50 of the outcome. The descriptors put into the models were found to be comparable with the target-ligand complex X-ray structures, making these models interpretable. Three selected molecules possess drug-like properties (pIC50 values ranged from 9.19 to 9.54). The docking score between candidates and the BChE receptor (RCSB ID 6EYF) ranged from -8.4 to -9.0 kcal/mol. Remarkably, the pharmacokinetics, biological activities, molecular dynamics, and physicochemical properties of compound 18 (C20H22N4O, pIC50 value = 9.33, oxadiazole derivative group) support its protective effects on AD treatment due to its non-toxic nature, non-carcinogen, cholinergic nature, capability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and high gastrointestinal absorption.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Pyrazolines are a significant class of heterocyclic compounds with essential biological activities. They are quite stable, which has inspired medicinal chemists to experiment with the ring's structure in many different ways to create a variety of pharmacological activities. The structures of numerous commercially available therapeutic agents contain a pyrazoline ring. Pyrazolines are well-known for their ability to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The neurodegenerative diseases that affect huge populations globally include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and psychiatric disorders. The neuroprotective properties of pyrazolines published since 2003 are covered in the current review. Structure-activity relationships (SARs), molecular docking simulation, anticholinesterase (anti-AChE), and monoamine oxidase (MAO A/B) inhibitory actions are all covered in this article. Pyrazolines were discovered to have beneficial effects in the management of AD and were revealed to be inhibitors of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaques. They were discovered to be efficient against PD and also targeted MAO B and COMT. It was discovered that the pyrazolines block MAO A to treat psychiatric diseases. Pyrazolines are significant heteroaromatic scaffolds with a variety of biological functions. They were discovered to be remarkably stable and serve as an indispensable anchor for the development of new drugs. By blocking AChE and MAOs, they may be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The discussion outlined here is an essential and helpful resource for medicinal chemists who are investigating and applying pyrazolines in neurodegenerative research initiatives as well as to expedite future research programs on neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The construction of chemical libraries containing polysubstituted pyrazoline scaffolds is highly desirable for the discovery of novel chemical ligands for biological targets. Herein, we report a sequential DNA-encoded synthesis strategy for polysubstituted pyrazoline heterocycles, which fuses a broad panel of aldehydes, aryl amines, and alkenes as building blocks. Furthermore, mock library synthesis and selection demonstrated the ability of the method to produce DNA-encoded focused libraries with highly functionalized pyrazoline cores.
