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