  ABSTRACT: With the recent research advances in molecular biology and technology, many credible hypothe-ses about the progress of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been proposed, among which the amyloid and cholinergic hypotheses are commonly used to develop reliable therapeutic agents. The multitarget-directed ligand (MTDL) approach was taken in this work to develop multi-functional agents, which can mainly serve as dual BACE 1 and AChE inhibitors. Depending on the scaffolds of (+)-(S)- dihydro-ar-tumerone and (－)-gallocatechin gallate, 3 series of new compounds have been designed, synthesized and evaluated, from which we have identified 2-(2-(3-methylbenzoyl)-3-oxo-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinolin-6-yl) isoindoline-1,3-dione (3d) as a new cholinesterase and β-secretase dual inhibitor without toxicity. Furthermore, 3d also exhibits hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity which could help to reduce the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the brain of AD patients.
