DOMINO-AD protocol : donepezil and memantine in moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease – a multicentre RCT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the commonest cause of dementia. Cholinesterase inhibitors, such as donepezil, are the drug class with the best evidence of efficacy, licensed for mild to moderate AD, while the glutamate antagonist memantine has

Clinicial and cost-effectiveness of donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine for Alzheimer's disease: a rapid and systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Background Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and is characterised by an insidious onset and slow deterioration. The estimated prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease for a standard health authority (500,000 people) is about 3330. Current

Effect of Water Extract of Mangosteen Pericarp on Donepezil Pharmacokinetics in Mice

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
The pharmacokinetic (PK) change in a drug by co-administered herbal products can alter the efficacy and toxicity. In the circumstances that herb–drug combinations have been increasingly attempted to alleviate Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the PK evaluation ...

Donepezil suppresses intracellular Ca2+ mobilization through the PI3K pathway in rodent microglia

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2017
Background Microglia are resident innate immune cells which release many factors including proinflammatory cytokines or nitric oxide (NO) when they are activated in response to immunological stimuli. Pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is related

Therapeutic drug monitoring of rivastigmine and donepezil under consideration of CYP2D6 genotype-dependent metabolism of donepezil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: The efficacy of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChE-I) might depend on blood concentration. While rivastigmine metabolism is independent of the cytochrome P450 system, its isoenzymes, especially CYP2D6, metabolize donepezil.

Evaluation of the Binding Characteristics of [5-11C-methoxy]Donepezil in the Rat Brain for In Vivo Visualization of Acetylcholinesterase

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
Donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, has not been evaluated for its binding characteristics using a radioactive tracer, although its inhibitory action on AChE has been studied.
