Abstract

A series of tetrahydroaminoacridine and their analogues were synthesized. Tetrahydroaminoacridine(tacrine) is an anticholinesterase agent used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Introduction of piperidine group at the para position enhanced anti-inflamatory activity for Alzheimer's disease. We investigated their ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase-1 and 2 isoforms. (omitted)
