Abstract

Several new 12-amino-6, 7, 10, 11-tetrahydro-7, 11-methanocycloocta [b] quinoline derivatives (tacrine-huperzine A hybrids, huprines) have been synthesized and tested as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. All of the new compounds contain either a methyl or ethyl group at position 9 and one or two (chloro, fluoro, or methyl) substituents at positions 1, 2, or 3. Among the monosubstituted derivatives, the more active are those substituted at ...
