    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics 2004-11-02 Treatments

    The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist memantine is an approved drug for treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Decreased expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 messenger RNA in select regions of Alzheimer brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience 1997-08-01 Drug development

    An antisense oligonucleotide probe was used to examine the expression of gene encoding the obligatory NMDAR1 subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor in the hippocampus and adjacent cortical areas (entorhinal and perirhinal cortices) of seven Alzheimer patients and in the same brain regions of seven control individuals.

  3. Psychotogenicity and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonism: implications for neuroprotective pharmacotherapy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Biological psychiatry 1997-01-01 Treatments

    The development of neuroprotective agents for the prevention of neuronal loss in acute conditions such as stroke and epilepsy or chronic neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's chorea, and motor neuron disease is currently focusing on drugs that inhibit excitatory amino acid neurotransmission or exhibit antioxidant properties.
