  1. Memantine protects rat cortical cultured neurons against beta-amyloid-induced toxicity by attenuating tau phosphorylation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The European journal of neuroscience 2008-11-01 Treatments

    It has been suggested that accumulation of beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptide triggers neurodegeneration, at least in part, via glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain.

  2. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-mediated neuroprotection by donepezil against glutamate neurotoxicity in rat cortical neurons

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics 2003-05-06 Treatments

    Donepezil is a potent and selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

  3. gp120 of HIV-1 induces apoptosis in rat cortical cell cultures: prevention by memantine

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. European journal of pharmacology 1992-07-01 Treatments

    After incubation of rat cortical cell cultures with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) coat protein gp120 for 12 h, cells showed fragmentation of DNA at internucleosomal linkers, the characteristic feature of apoptosis.
