The synthesis of four heterodimers in which the copper(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition wasemployed to connect a 1-deoxynojirimycin moiety with a benzotriazole scaffold is reported. The hetero-dimers were investigated as inhibitors against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase(BuChE). The heterodimers displayed...

The copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was applied to prepare three enantiomeric pairs of heterodimers containing a tacrine residue and a 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) or 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-arabinitol (LAB) moiety held together via linkers of variable lengths containing a 1,2,3-triazole ring and 3, 4, or 7 CH2 groups....

We have used the Cu(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition reaction to obtain two families of bivalent heterodimers where tacrine is connected to an azasugar or iminosugar, respectively,vialinkers of variable length. The heterodimers were investigated as cholinesterase inhibitors and it was found that their activity increased with the...
