The invention provides compounds of formula: (I) which have a tacrine moiety connected to an heterocyclic moiety through a linker. Through careful selection of the substituents and the linker, the activity and selectivity towards acetylcholinesterase can be modulated. The compounds show potent AChE inhibition activities together with modifications in the beta-amyloid aggregation properties by binding simultaneously to the catalytic and peripheral AChE sites. They are useful in the treatment of AChE mediated diseases, such as the Alzheimer's disease.
该发明提供了具有以下公式的化合物:(I),其中通过连接剂将一种他环境基团连接到一种杂环基团。通过精心选择取代基和连接剂,可以调节对
乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性和选择性。这些化合物显示出强大的AChE抑制活性,同时通过同时结合催化和外周AChE位点,改变了β-淀粉样蛋白聚集特性。它们在治疗AChE介导的疾病,如阿尔茨海默病中非常有用。
