We herein report the anti-Alzheimer activity of some synthesized heterocyclic pyrimidine and thiopyrimidine derivatives fused with steroidal structure. Twenty-one of these compounds were synthesized and conveniently screened for their anti-Alzheimer activities using of Flurbiprofen as the reference drug. Some of these compounds were demonstrated to exhibit remarkable activity and their β-amyloid (Aβ) lowering results as IC50 values reported.
