Racemic 8-[2-(2-pentyl-cyclopropylmethyl)-cyclopropyl]-octanoic acid (DCP-LA), a linoleic acid derivative with cyclopropane rings instead of cis-double bonds, contains possible four diastereomers such as α,α-, α,β-, β,α-, and β,β-DCP-LA. The present study examined the effect of racemic and
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of galanthamine, a new cholinesterase inhibitor on cognitive performances in 84 patients with various apoE genotype and Alzheimer's disease (AD) during the six-month treatment. The diagnosis of AD was made on the basis of NINCDS/ADRDN criteria. ApoE4
Galanthamine is a selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor which has shown potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Galanthamine is selective for acetylcholinesterase versus butyrylcholinesterase; however, the drug produces greater enzyme inhibition in human erythrocytes than in human
In recent years, galanthamine isolated from several members of the Amaryllidaceae (Leucojum spp., Narcissus species, Galanthus spp.) has become an important therapeutic options used to slow down the process of neurological degeneration in Alzheimer's disease. This review traces aspects of the
A full-length cDNA (LC3'H) was obtained from a cDNA library of Lycoris radiata by DOP-PCR (degenerate oligonucleotide primer PCR), 3'race and 5'race methods. Compared with the other reported enzymes from different plants, the deduced amino acid sequence of LC3'H exhibits significant homologies to
The loss of cholinergic neurons within the basal forebrain of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) may underlie aspects of the dementia. Excessive activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors may underlie the degeneration of cholinergic cells. New drug therapies have been designed to either
Dementia is becoming a major public health problem worldwide. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by a deficient cholinergic transmission, deposition of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and neuro-inflammation that result in progressive degeneration
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common cause for dementia in our ageing population, which leads to a slowly progressive, irretrievable ruination of mental function. The destructive, primarily degenerative condition is neuropathologically characterized by the formation of amyloid plaques,
