摘要: Currently, cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI) represent the treatment of choice for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Following introduction in 1980s a first generation drugs such as physostigmine and tacrine, second more suitable compounds was developed 1990s. These are clinically efficacious produce less severe side-effects at effective doses. Contrary to discovery other neurotransmitter-based CNS neuroleptics, tricyclic anti-depressants anxiolytics, clinical application ChEI cognitive deficits AD neither accidental nor serendipitous. Its rationale solidly founded on data derived from experimental physiology behavioral pharmacology cholinergic system animals humans. Clinical results effect these cognition (memory, attention concentration) recently symptoms (apathy, hallucinations motor agitation) confirmed predictions potential efficacy based laboratory data.
