Figure 2. The predicted binding mode of compounds 8 (magenta), 21 (green), and 32 (yellow) in the binding site of BACE1. The detected cation-π interactions were marked as red lines connecting the centre of the aromatic ring and guanidine carbon of Arg296.

Figure 4. Compound 3 exerts concentration-dependent influence on the metabolic activity of HepG2 and SH-SY5Ycells. HepG2 and SH-SY5Ycells were incubated in the presence of increasing concentrations of compound 3 (1–100 µM) and (0.25–5 µM), respectively. After 24 h, cell viability was evaluated by MTS assay. A control group (DMSO) was considered as 100% of cell viability. Cells were treated in quadruplicate. The values are the mean ± SD of two independent experiments.
