Abstract

To search for multifunctional anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) agents with good safety, the previously synthesized tacrine–flurbiprofen hybrids 1a and 1b were modified into tacrine– flurbiprofen–nitrate trihybrids 3a–h. These compounds displayed comparable or higher cholinesterase inhibitory activity relative to the bivalent hybrids. Compound 3a was the most potent, which released moderate NO, exerted blood vessel relaxative activity, and showed ...
