In this work we describe the synthesis and biologicalevaluation of the tacrine-1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) hybrids (3-11).These multipotent molecules are the result of the juxtaposition of anacetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) such as tacrine (1) and a 1,4-DHP such as nimodipine (2). Compounds 3-11 are very selective andpotent AChEIs and show an excellent neuprotective profile and amoderate Ca2+ channel blockade effect. Consequently, these moleculesare new potential drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
