4-(2-Difluoromethoxyphenyl) substituted 3-alkoxycarbonyl-6-alkylsulfanyl-3-cyano-2-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridines 2, related pyridines 2 and 4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridines 3 have been prepared and their memory improving activity by making use passive avoidance responses in acquisition test and calcium overload preventing activity in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line in presence of agonist carbachol were examined. 1,4-Dihydropyridines 2f,i bearing propoxyethoxycarbonyl group in position 3 and possessing weak influence on calcium overload in neuronal cells, showed high activity comparable with that of cerebrocrast.
