Eleven new 12-amino-6,7,10,11-tetrahydro-7, 11-methanocycloocta[b]quinoline derivatives [tacrine (THA)-huperzine A hybrids, rac-21-31] have been synthesized as racemic mixtures and tested as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. For derivatives unsubstituted at the benzene ring, the highest activity was obtained for the 9-ethyl derivative rac-20, previously
