Meanwhile, Western blot analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction were also conducted to compare the levels of ACHE messenger RNA and protein between two groups (dementia positive, n = 26 and dementia negative, n = 26) or among cells treated with miR-132 mimics, ACHE small interfering RNA, and miR-132 inhibitors.
In low/middle-income countries (LMICs), the prevalence of people diagnosed with dementia is expected to increase substantially and treatment options are limited, with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors not used as frequently as in high-income countries (HICs).
The current drugs for AD, including acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) and memantine, a NMDA receptor antagonist, only temporarily ameliorate cognitive decline, but are unable to stop or reverse the progression of dementia.
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors have a consistent benefit across all stages of dementia; their benefit in mild cognitive impairment and prodromal AD is unproven.
The co-administration of an anticholinergic with an AChE inhibitor is a rational strategy for improving efficacy in the symptomatic treatment of dementia, but there are significant long-term risks that have not yet been considered.
Dementia occurrence was defined by the first prescription for acetylcholinesterase inhibitors or N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor antagonist with an International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) code for dementia (F00, F01, F02, F03, G30, F051, or G311) during 2007-2013.
This feature makes acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEi) the main class of drugs currently used for the treatment of AD dementia phase, among which galantamine is the only naturally occurring substance.
β-Diketone A manifested the most outstanding potency as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor with IC<sub>50</sub> value of 1.51 μM pointing again to the β-keto-enol moiety as a promising lead structure for the development of drugs that could lessen symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (such as dementia, depression and pain).
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists for dementia management can be costly given their modest efficacy, and it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with patients before a shared decision is made.
Further, since depleted AChE activity is associated with dementia and cognitive impairment, the present study suggest that disturbed purine nucleotide metabolism in CKD is a risk factor for cognitive impairment.
To evaluate the cardiovascular (CV) effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) in individuals with dementia DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Our findings demonstrate impaired perception of degraded speech in AD but retained perceptual learning capacity that can be harnessed by acetylcholinesterase inhibition, with implications for designing communication interventions and acoustic environments in dementia.
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine are effective in the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease but current evidence does not support their use to treat depressive symptoms in dementia.
The role of functional foods was considered as a potential treatment of dementia and Alzheimer's disease through inhibition of acetylcholinesterase as well as similar treatments based on herbs, spices and antioxidants therein.
Prevalent drugs for the symptomatic therapy of dementia are significant in increasing the associated cholinergic deficiency by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
Our results suggest the potential of C. ternata as a therapeutic agent against dementia via the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity and neuronal cell death.
Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in damaged but functional cholinergic synapses in the brains of dementia patients increases intrasynaptic ACh.
