title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of new 4H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives that block acetylcholinesterase and cell calcium signals, and cause neuroprotection against calcium overload and free radicals.
abstract: The synthesis and biological evaluation of ethyl 5-amino-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline-3-carboxylates (9-11) is described. We have found that these compounds inhibit AChE with a mild potency, mitigates the [Ca(2+)](c) triggered by high K(+), and cause neuroprotection against Ca(2+) overloading and free radical-induced neuronal death.
