Journal: Recent Advances in the Treatment and Management of Alzheimer's Disease: A Precision Medicine Perspective. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 20, 2024 Another medication that can temporarily alleviate dementia symptoms is memantine, which blocks the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor...For some Alzheimer's pa-tients, the FDA-approved monoclonal antibody, aducanumab, is an option; for others, phase 3 clinical studies are underway for drugs, like lecanemab and donanemab, which have demonstrat-ed potential in eliminating amyloid protein. However, additional study is required to identify and address these limitations in order to reduce the likelihood of side effects and maximize the thera-peutic efficacy.

Journal: A developmental gradient reveals biosynthetic pathways to eukaryotic toxins in monocot geophytes. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 15, 2024 A notable example is the >150 Amaryllidaceae alkaloids (AmAs), including galantamine, an FDA-approved treatment for Alzheimer's disease...A similar trend is found in the production of steroidal alkaloids (e.g., cyclopamine) in corn lily...Taken together, our work sheds light on the developmental and enzymatic logic of diverse alkaloid biosynthesis in daffodils. More broadly, it suggests a paradigm for biosynthesis regulation in monocot geophytes, where plants are protected from herbivory through active charging of newly formed cells with eukaryotic toxins that persist as above-ground tissue develops.

Review, Journal: Mechanisms of mitophagy and oxidative stress in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 22, 2024 Despite the availability of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved clinical first-line drugs for AD, including memantine, donepezil hydrochloride, and galantamine, these agents do not fundamentally block the pathological process of AD. In this paper, we undertake a review of the mechanisms of mitophagy and oxidative stress in neurological disorders, a summary of the clinical trials conducted in recent years, and a proposal for a new strategy for targeted treatment of neurological disorders based on both mitophagy and oxidative stress.

Review, Journal: Exploring the therapeutic potential of steroidal alkaloids in managing Alzheimer's disease. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 28, 2024 Some examples of alkaloid derivatives currently used to treat AD symptoms include galantamine, huperzine A, and other alkaloids...The purpose of this review article is to provide an overview of the mechanism, toxicity and neuroprotective benefits of steroidal alkaloids and to discuss future possibilities to improve the application of steroidal alkaloids as anti-AD agents. The therapeutic value and limitations of the steroidal alkaloid are investigated to provide new perspectives for future clinical development studies.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 26, 2024 Reregulation of these proteins through Ras signaling and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling pathways, which were found to be enriched, might contribute to reversing AD-induced molecular changes. We suggest that, since it targets specifically the cerebellum, ODG may be further evaluated for combination therapies for AD.

Journal: Structural brain changes associated with cocaine use and digital cognitive behavioral therapy in cocaine use disorder treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 5, 2024 As part of a larger randomized controlled trial, these participants were randomly assigned to receive (or not) computer-based training for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT), and galantamine (or placebo)...These results extend previous findings regarding changes in caudate and cerebellar GMV as a function of cocaine use and provide the first evidence of a change in brain structure as a function of engagement in digital CBT for addiction. These data suggest a novel potential mechanism underlying how CBT4CBT and CBT more broadly may exert therapeutic effects on substance-use-related behaviors through brain regions implicated in semantic knowledge.
