Addressing Alzheimer's disease tangles: from NAP to AL-108.

29 Sep 2009 AL-108 is the intranasal formulation of NAP (a peptide of eight amino acids, NAPVSIPQ). Phase IIa clinical results have recently shown that AL-108 has a positive impact on memory function in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a ... Read more...

A neurotrophic rationale for the therapy of neurodegenerative disorders.

29 Sep 2009 The concept and rationale for neuroprotection are presented. Several examples of small molecule neurotrophic agents with favourable drug-like and pharmacological properties are shown. Compound efficacy in acute neurodegenerative models (optic nerve ... Read more...

Successful use of donepezil in treatment of cognitive impairment caused by maintenance electroconvulsive therapy: a case report.

30 Aug 2009 Cognitive deficits are commonly associated with maintenance electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Treatment of these cognitive deficits is important but difficult. Cholinergic pathways are involved in these side effects, and donepezil, a cholinesterase ... Read more...
