Memantine is used to treat moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease, especially for people who are intolerant of or have a contraindication to AChE (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitors. [17] [18] One guideline recommends memantine or an AChE inhibitor be considered in people in the early-to-mid stage of dementia. [19]
31 sty 2024 · Memantine is an uncompetitive antagonist of the NMDA subtype of glutamate receptors in the CNS. Alzheimer disease is believed to be caused by overstimulation of glutamate, the primary excitatory amino acid in the CNS, resulting in excitotoxicity and neuronal degeneration.
6 cze 2023 · Memantine is a noncompetitive moderate‐affinity strong voltage‐dependent N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor antagonist. It has been used to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) since 1989. In 2018, it became the second most commonly used drug for the treatment of dementia in the world.
13 mar 2018 · The discovery of extrasynaptic NMDARs provided a rational and physiological explanation between physiological and excitotoxic actions of glutamate. Memantine (MEM), an antagonist of extrasynaptic NMDAR, is currently used for the treatment of AD jointly with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
5 lis 2022 · The N-methyl-D-Aspartate receptor antagonist memantine with its less popular monoamine reuptake-inhibiting properties provides beneficial effects in patients with advanced Alzheimer’s disease on an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor treatment regimen. Memantine...
Memantine (MEM), an antagonist of extrasynaptic NMDAR, is currently used for the treatment of AD jointly with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. It has been demonstrated that MEM preferentially prevents the excessive continuous extrasynaptic NMDAR disease activation and therefore prevents neuronal cell death induced by excitotoxicity without ...
3 kwi 2003 · Memantine, an uncompetitive NMDA-receptor antagonist, could be of therapeutic value in Alzheimer's disease. 12 A recent study in patients with advanced dementia (Alzheimer's disease and...
