A series of carbamate analogs of besipirdine (HP 749) was synthesized
as potential agents with enhanced cholinomimetic properties for the tr
eatment of Alzheimer's disease. Compound 5a (P10358, 3-fluoro-4-pyridi
nyl)amino]-3-methyl-1H-indol-5-yl methyl carbamate) emerged as a poten
t, reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that significantly enhanc
ed performance on oral or parenteral administration in earning and mem
ory paradigms. (C) 1997, Elsevier Science Ltd.
