The synthesized compounds were obtained in yields ranging from 54 to 81%. Molecule structures were determined with FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies. In addition, the inhibitory effects of these substances on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), α-glycosidase (α-Gly), human carbonic anhydrase I (hCA I), and human carbonic anhydrase II (hCA II) enzymes have been investigated. It has been seen that all compounds have a better ability to inhibit compared to existing tried inhibitors. Among these, the best inhibitor against AChE enzyme is 2b (Ki 62.08 ± 11.67 µM and IC50 90.33), and against α-Gly, 2c showed the highest effect (Ki 0.33 ± 0.08 µM and IC50 0.28). The best inhibitor against hCA I, and hCA II enzymes is compound 2f. For hCA I and hCA II, Ki value was measured as 9.68 ± 1.32 and 11.46 ± 2.64 µM and IC50 values as 7.37 and 8.26 µM respectively. The interactions of the studied new propanolamine derivatives with the enzymes were done by molecular docking calculations and their biological activities were compared to the experimental tests. Studied enzymes in molecular docking calculations are acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is PDB ID 4M0E, α-glycosidase (α-Gly) is PDB ID 1R47, human carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme I (hCA I) PDB ID 3LXE is human carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme II (hCA II) is PDB ID 5 AML.Curcumin and trans-cinnamaldehyde are acrolein-based Michael acceptor compounds that are commonly found in domestic condiments, and known to cause cancer cell death via redox mechanisms. Based on the structural features of these compounds we designed and synthesized several 2-cinnamamido-N-substituted-cinnamamide (bis-cinnamamide) compounds. One of the derivatives, (Z)-2-[(E)-cinnamamido]-3-phenyl-N-propylacrylamide 8 showed a moderate antiproliferative potency (HCT-116 c
