bis(7)-Tacrine
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the primary cholinesterase in the body. It is an enzyme catalyzing the breakdown of acetylcholine and some other choline esters that function as neurotransmitters. Tacrine is an amino acridine compound that inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which has been proposed as a clinical treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Bis(7)-Tacrine is a tacrine dimer, linked via a 7-carbon alkyl spacer. It inhibits AChE with an IC50 of 0.40 nM, making it more than 1,000 times more potent than tacrine. It is thought to have multiple mechanisms of action including inhibition of AChE, and inihbititon of the amyloid precursor protein/beta-amyloid cascade. It has been shown to inhibit the formation of Aβ1-42 oligomers and reduce the amount of pre-formed Aβ1-42 oligomers.
