Can anyone help me with pharmacological classification of anti Alzheimer's agents?
For Alzheimers, cholinesterase inhibitors.. And a drug called memantine.
NMDA receptor antagonists.
Drugs: Tacrine (tetrahydroaminoacridine), donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine.
Mechanism: Inhibition of cholinesterase, with a resulting increase in cerebral levels of acetylcholine.
Antioxidants, selegiline, tocopherol (vitamin E), estrogen replacement in females, Ginkgo Biloba extracts are other drugs which may benefit in Alzheimers disease.
