Synthesis, characterization, molecular docking evaluation, antidepressant, and anti‐Alzheimer effects of dibenzylidene ketone derivatives

Novel bioactive compounds as synthetic analogs of the potent herbal medicines can be optimized as potential drug candidates for various neurologic disorders. This study was performed to investigate the newly synthesized dibenzylidene ketone derivatives: (2E,6E)‐2,6‐dibenzylidene cyclohexanone (A1K1) and (1E,4E)‐5‐(2,3‐dichlorophenyl)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐2‐methylpenta‐1,4‐diene‐3‐one (A2K2) and evaluate its potential anti‐Alzheimer's and...
