3-(Propargyl-propionamine)indole (4a) and 3-(propargyl-butyramide)indole (4b) were prepared from indole-3-propionic acid (3a) and indole-3-butyric acid (3b) by condensation with propargylamine, respectively. Twelve novel acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, tacrine-indole hybrids, were synthesized from 4a, 4b and 9-(azido-ethyl-amino)- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine derivatives (5a5c) by microwave-assisted Huisgen [3+2] cycloaddition reaction. These novel compounds were determined by NMR, IR and HRMS techniques. The preliminary bioassay showed that all of them exhibited better AChE (electrophorus) inhibitory activity. Particularly, the IC50 values of compounds 2b and 2d were 1.6 and 2.0 nmol· L-1 respectively, which were 6.9 and 5.5 times respectively more potent than N-[6-(6-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridin-9- yl-amino)hexyl]-3-(1H-Indol-3-yl)propionamide (6T6BA) (IC50=11.0 nmol·L-1, electrophorus).
