Abstract

2‐Amino‐3‐cyanothiophenes were successfully condensed with a number of cycloalkanones to afford tacrine analogues in a one‐step reaction mediated with Lewis acid. The newly synthesized compounds have been tested for their ability to inhibit acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity using tacrine as standard drug. Some of the tested compounds showed moderate inhibitory activity in comparison with tacrine, especially compounds 6a which displayed the highest inhibitory activity. Furthermore, molecular‐modeling studies were performed in order to rationalize the obtained biological results.

The present study was designed to determine whether oral tacrine (tetrahydroaminoacridine, THA) improves the symptoms of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The study was a multicentre, randomized doubleblind, placebo controlled, parallel group study with individual determination of
