Recent advance on carbamate-based cholinesterase inhibitors as potential multifunctional agents against Alzheimer's disease
2022, European Journal of Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :However, most of physovenine analogues lacked amyloid precursor protein (APP) action and had little activity of reducing the level of Aβ, which was similar to physostigmine analogues but different from phenserine derivatives, indicating that furan ring and phenyl carbamate residues might play a certain role in regulating Aβ level. Ganstigine (CHF2819, 15, Fig. 5), as a N-oxide analogue of physostigmine, could selectively inhibit TcAChE and performed more inhibition on AChE in central than peripheral [65–67]. In vivo results displayed that CHF2819 could markedly increase ACh and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels, decrease dopamine (DA) level, but not affect extracellular concentrations and metabolites of 5-HT, DA and noradrenaline (NA), exhibiting a great promise for the treatment of cholinergic deficit in patients with AD [68,69].
Cholinergic activation affects the acute and chronic antinociceptive effects of morphine
2017, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Probably this neuroprotective effect of donepezil is combined with the activation of α7 subtype of N cholinergic receptors [61]. It should be noted that donepezil binds to the two types of cholinergic receptors i.e. M and N. Moreover, rivastigmine after acute administration, decreases glutamate release [69] and given chronically, increases mRNA expression of the glutamate reuptake transporter rEAAC1 in the rat hippocampus [6]. Because we have shown that the influence of donepezil and rivastigmine (after acute administration) on the antinociceptive effects of morphine is mediated by M cholinergic receptors, it may be assumed that this receptor is involved in inhibiting the development of tolerance to the analgesic effects of morphine [49], probably by reduction of glutamate release within the PAG [43].
Influence of environmental enrichment on steady-state mRNA levels for EAAC1, AMPA1 and NMDA2A receptor subunits in rat hippocampus
2007, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, mice with the neuronal glutamate transporter EAAC1 (excitatory amino acid carrier) knocked out show early signs of neurodegeneration combined with decreased spatial learning abilities and cognitive impairment (Aoyama et al., 2006), and over expression of the transporter causes rescue of neurons (Kiryu-Seo et al., 2006). Interestingly, localisation of neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques, two of the hallmarks in Alzheimer's disease, has been found to parallel the distribution of glutamatergic synapses (Rogers and Morrison, 1985; Trabace et al., 2001). The cognitive functions described above rely on the hippocampus.
