A short and convenient synthesis of 3-p-toluoyl-2-[4'-(3-diethylaminopropoxy)-phenyl]-benzofuran, an inhibitor of the aggregation of β-amyloid, which is thought to be the underlying cause of Alzheimer's disease, is described.

A series of berberine-phenyl-benzoheterocyclic (26-29) and tacrine-phenyl-benzoheterocyclic hybrids (44-46) were synthesised and evaluated as multifunctional anti-Alzheimer's disease agents. Compound 44b, tacrine linked with phenyl-benzothiazole by 3-carbon spacers, was the most potent AChE inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.017 μM. This compound demonstrated similar Aβ aggregation inhibitory activity with cucurmin (51.8% vs 52.1% at 20 μM, respectively), indicating that this hybrid is an excellent multifunctional drug candidate for AD.
