The N-(pyrrol-1-yl)pyridinamine compounds of formula I of the present invention are useful in the treatment of various memory dysfunctions characterized by decreased cholinergic function, such as Alzheimer's disease.
Cholinergic agonists have been shown to have increased affinity for [.sup.3 H]-QNB (quinuclidinyl benzilate) binding sites in the presence of zinc ions. Thus, enhanced [.sup.3 H]-QNB displacement by a compound in the presence of zinc is taken as a measure of cholinergic agonist activity, and would therefore be useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
[.sup.3 H]-QNB DISPLACEMENT ASSAY
The ability to displace [.sup.3 H]-QNB in the presence and absence of zinc ions was determined by the method of C. P. Smith and F. P. Huger, Biochemical Pharmacology, 32, 377 (1983).

This utility is further demonstrated by the ability of these compounds to restore cholinergically deficient memory in the Dark Avoidance Assay, where they are in general active over a broader dose range than heretofore known compounds, a distinct therapeutic advantage.
Dark Avoidance Asssay
In this assay mice are tested for their ability to remember an unpleasant stimulus for a period of 24 hours. A mouse is placed in a chamber that contains a dark compartment; a strong incandescent light drives it to the dark compartment, where an electric shock is administered through metal plates on the floor. The animal is removed from the testing apparatus and tested again, 24 hours later, for the ability to remember the electric shock.
If scolopamine, an anticholinergic that is known to cause memory impairment, is administered before an animal's initial exposure to the test chamber, the animal re-enters the dark compartment shortly after being placed in the test chamber 24 hours later. This effect of scopolamine is blocked by an active test compound, resulting in a greater interval before re-entry into the dark compartment.
The results for an active compound are expressed as the percent of a group of animals in which the effect of scopolamine is blocked, as manifested by an increased interval between being placed in the test chamber and re-entering the dark compartment.
