摘 要:OBJECTIVE Alzheimer′s disease (AD)and vascular dementia (VD)are the primary causes of dementia in elderly individuals,and therapeutic options for both conditions are *** of N-methylD-aspartate (NMDA) receptors,decreased cerebral blood flow,and subsequent pathological events,play significant roles in the progression of AD and *** In this study,we investigated the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of MN-08,a novel memantine nitrate,in mouse models of AD and rats with *** MN-08 was found to inhibit Aβ accumulation,prevent neuronal and dendritic spine loss,and attenuate cognitive deficits in 2-month-old APP/PS1 transgenic mice (following a 6-month preventative course) and in 8-month-old triple-transgenic (3×Tg-AD) mice (following a4-month therapeutic course),as well as in rat models of VD with preventive and therapeutic *** vitro,MN-08 was shown to bind to and antagonize NMDA receptors,inhibit calcium influx,and reverse dysregulations of the ERK and PI3K/Akt/GSK3β pathway,subsequently preventing glutamate-induced neuronal ***,MN-08 exhibited favorable pharmacokinetics,blood-brain barrier penetration,and safety profiles in rats and beagle *** These findings suggest that the novel memantine nitrate MN-08 may be a useful therapeutic agent for AD and VD.
