Chemical structure definitions are available for many Cayman products. See Chemical Structure Database for details.

Tacrine is an amino acridine compound that inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and has been proposed as a clinical treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.1 bis(7)-Tacrine is a tacrine dimer, linked via a 7-carbon alkyl spacer. It inhibits AChE with an IC50 of 0.40 nM, making it more than 1,000 times more potent than tacrine.2 bis(7)-Tacrine also protects against hydrogen peroxide induced apoptosis in rat pheochromocytoma cells.3
