synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibitacetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and neuronal uptake of 5-HT (serotonin) and noradrenaline. Changes in the size of the carbocyclic ring of tacrine produced modest potency against cholinesterase enzymes. Addition of a fourth ring resulted in compounds with marked selectivity for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) over butyrylcholinesterase (BChE):
