Synthesis of Novel Tacrine Analogs as Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors

In this work, a wide range of novel pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3‐b ]quinolin‐5‐amines were synthesized as tacrine analogs. At first, reaction of 3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5(4H )‐one, aromatic aldehydes, and malononitrile gave 6‐amino‐4‐aryl‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1,4‐dihydropyrano[2,3‐c ]pyrazole‐5‐carbonitriles. Then, reaction of the latter compounds with cyclohexanone led to the formation of the title compounds.

Interestingly, most of them showed good inhibitory activity comparing with rivastigmine as the reference drug.

In search of new antimicrobial agents with enhanced potency, we have designed and synthesized three series of hydrazones with 3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐thieno[2,3‐c ]pyrazole‐5‐carbohydrazide.
