In this article, we establish the existence of bound state solutions for a class of quasilinear Schrödinger equations whose nonlinear term is asymptotically linear in
{\mathbb{R}^{N}}
. After changing the variables, the quasilinear equation becomes a semilinear equation, whose respective associated functional is well defined in
{H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N})}
. The proofs are based on the Pohozaev manifold and a linking theorem.
