, p. 5359 - 5361 (2001)
The synthesis of a new hybrid analog of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors huperzine A and B is reported. An intramolecular reductive dicarbonyl coupling was used as a key reaction for constructing the tetracyclic ring system.

Cholinergic neurons are ubiquitous and involved in various higher brain functions including learning and memory. Patients with Alzheimer's disease exhibit significant dysfunction and loss of cholinergic neurons. Meanwhile, such cholinergic deficits can be potentially relieved pharmacologically by increasing acetylcholine. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors have been used to improve cholinergic transmission in the brain for two decades and have proven effective for alleviating symptoms in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, the search for AChE inhibitors for drug development is ongoing. The enzymatic pocket of AChE has long been the target of several drug designs over the last two decades. The peripheral and catalytic sites of AChE are simultaneously bound by several dimeric molecules, enabling more-efficient inhibition. Here, we used 6-chlorotacrine and the tetrahydroquinolone moiety of huperzine A to design and synthesize a series of heterodimers that inhibit AChE at nanomolar potency. Specifically, compound 7b inhibits AChE with an IC50 1 nM and spares butyrylcholinesterase. Administration of 7b to mouse brain slices restores synaptic activity impaired by pirenzepine, a muscarinic M1-selective antagonist. Moreover, oral administration of 7b to C57BL/6 mice enhances hippocampal long-term potentiation in a dose-dependent manner and is detectable in the brain tissue. All these data supported that 7b is a potential cognitive enhancer and is worth for further exploration.
A process for the preparation of the intermediates of the synthesis method of the huperzine-a
-
Paragraph 0038-0043, (2017/08/25)
The invention discloses a synthesis method for preparing a huperzine A intermediate, which comprises the following steps: carrying out substitution at the alpha site of the carbonylic group by using 1,4-cyclohexyl diketone ethylene glycol and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal as raw materials to obtain a substitution product, cyclizing the substitution product under the action of methyl cyanoacetate to obtain a cyclization product, and decarboxylating the cyclization product under the action of a strong base to obtain 2-carbonyl-6-ethylene ketal-5,7,8-dihydro-quinoline. The method has the advantages of fewer synthesis reaction steps, mild reaction conditions, low requirements for operating personnel and low environmental pollution, greatly lowers the raw material cost, and is simple to operate and convenient for refinement; and the obtained 2-carbonyl-6-ethylene ketal-5,7,8-dihydro-quinoline has high quality and high yield.

experimental part, p. 635 - 642 (2012/07/28)
A safe, practical and scalable process for manufacture of (-)-huperzine A has been developed and scaled up to manufacture several hundred grams of (-)-huperzine A with chemical and optical purity of >99%. The process consists of 11 chemical stages starting from commercially available materials with only nine isolation steps and no chromatography purification. This process provides a reliable and cost-effective source of synthetic (-)-huperzine A and its derivatives for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets.

Page/Page column 12, (2008/12/07)
Novel heterodimers of tetrahydroacridines and tetrahydroquinolinones are disclosed. The heterodimers are capable of acting as both acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists. The heterodimers may be used to improve cognitive defects via treatment or prevention in both humans and non-humans.

Synthesis and stereochemistry of 2-methyl-4H-9,12-dioxa-1,4-diazadispiro[5.2.5.2]tetradec-1-EN-3-one and its 2H-imidazolo-2-spirocyclohexane analogue. An anomalous michael type cyclocondensation

, p. 737 - 743 (2007/10/03)
Starting from 1,4-cyclohexanedione monoethylene ketal and methyl propiolate in ammonia-saturated methanol at 100°C we obtained 2-methyl-4H-9,12-dioxa-1,4-diazadispiro[5.2.5.2]tetradec-1-en-3-one which was subsequently transformed into its O-methyl ether - a 2H-imidazolo-2-spirocyclohexane derivative. The mechanism of formation of this new heterocyclic system by anomalous Michael type cyclocondensation was proposed.
