SLOWING OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE PROGRESSION WITH NEUROAID. () - Oct 5, 2022 - Abstract #CTAD2022CTAD_130; P2 The treatment effect was most substantial at M12 in patients who were compliant to the study medication and study completers, as shown in PP analysis. The previously available preclinical and clinical data, along with the recent promising ATHENE study results suggest that the next step in the clinical development of MLC901 in AD should be to design a larger clinical study of a longer duration with added biomarkers to demonstrate a disease modification effect in AD.

Preclinical, Journal: Neuroprotective effects of combined therapy with memantine, donepezil, and vitamin D in ovariectomized female mice subjected to dementia model. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 5, 2022 Notably, triple-association treatment reversed the effects of the exposition of mice to Aβ and OVX in the long-term spatial and habituation memories impairment, as well as reversed changes in TNFα, IL-1β, IL-4, and GFAP immunoreactivity levels in the hippocampus of treated animals. Our results indicate that the therapeutic association of vitamin D, memantine, and donepezil has beneficial effects on memory performance and attenuated the neuroinflammatory response in female mice subjected to OVX associated with a dementia animal model.

Preclinical, Journal: Anxiogenic and anxiolytic effects of memantine injected into the ventral hippocampus in male stressed mice. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 4, 2022 Our results indicate that the therapeutic association of vitamin D, memantine, and donepezil has beneficial effects on memory performance and attenuated the neuroinflammatory response in female mice subjected to OVX associated with a dementia animal model. It could be concluded that NMDA glutamate receptors in the ventral hippocampus may play a pivotal role in the mediation of maintenance of anxiety and depression induced by stress in the mice.

Journal: Neuronal network-based biomimetic chip for long-term detection of olfactory dysfunction model in early-stage Alzheimer's disease. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 24, 2022 Moreover, MK-801 and memantine were administrated at early-stage to detect alteration of OB neurons simulating nasal administration for AD treatment, which showed an almost recovery through the intermittent firing pattern. Together, this neuronal network-on-chip has revealed synaptic impairment and network neurodegeneration of olfactory dysfunction in AD, providing potential mechanisms information for early-stage progressive olfactory amyloidogenic pathology.

Review, Journal: N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists in improving cognitive deficits following traumatic brain injury: a systematic review. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 20, 2022 Although some benefits were observed, there are still some concerns regarding the efficacy and safety of NMDAR antagonists in improving post-TBI cognitive deficits. Further research is required to examine whether (i) these agents, notably amantadine, could accelerate cognitive improvement and shorten the hospital stay, (ii) these agents affect different cognitive domains/subdomains in the same direction, (iii) an optimal therapeutic time window exists, (iv) a member of this drug class can be proved to be effective without interfering in non-excitotoxic actions of glutamate, (v) they can be more effective as part of combination therapies or in particular subgroups of patients with TBI.

Preclinical, Journal: Targeting organic cation transporters at the blood-brain barrier to treat ischemic stroke in rats. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 12, 2022 All positive effects of memantine were attenuated by co-administration of cimetidine, which demonstrates that Oct1/Oct2 transport is required for memantine to exert neuroprotective effects in ischemic stroke. Furthermore, Oct1/Oct2-mediated transport was shown to be the dominant mechanism for memantine brain uptake in the MCAO model despite a concurrent increase in paracellular "leak." These novel and translational findings provide mechanistic evidence on the critical role of BBB transporters in CNS delivery of stroke therapeutics, information that can help such drugs advance in clinical trials.

Clinical, Journal: Favorable Response to "Memantine" in a Child with GRIN2B Epileptic Encephalopathy. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 10, 2022 The use of memantine along with antiepileptic drug polytherapy has proved to be beneficial in our case. Our experience with memantine and favorable outcome opens up the scope of more research into the use of NMDA receptor antagonist as a drug option for refractory epilepsies with proven genetic mutation and hence improves the overall neurodevelopmental outcome and survival chance.

Journal: The neurophysiological effect of NMDA-R antagonism of frontotemporal lobar degeneration is conditional on individual GABA concentration. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 5, 2022 Both magnetoencephalography sessions recorded a roving auditory oddball paradigm: on placebo or following 10 mg memantine, an uncompetitive NMDA-receptor antagonist...This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the potential for baseline dependency in the pharmacological restoration of neurotransmitter deficits to influence cognitive neurophysiology in neurodegenerative disease. With changes to multiple neurotransmitters in frontotemporal lobar degeneration, we suggest that individuals' balance of excitation and inhibition may determine drug efficacy, with implications for drug selection and patient stratification in future clinical trials.

Review, Journal: Symptomatic and Disease-Modifying Therapy Pipeline for Alzheimer's Disease: Towards a Personalized Polypharmacology Patient-Centered Approach. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 3, 2022 Small molecules, mAbs, or multimodal strategies showing promise in animal studies have not confirmed that promise in the clinic (where small to moderate changes in clinical efficacy have been observed), and therefore, there is a significant unmet need for a better understanding of the AD pathogenesis and the exploration of alternative etiologies and therapeutic effective disease-modifying therapies strategies for AD. Therefore, a critical review of the disease-modifying therapy pipeline for Alzheimer's disease is needed.

Then we mapped the identified requirements from the HTA reports with endpoints used in clinical trials of emerging therapies (identified through clinicaltrials.gov), namely aducanumab, donanemab, gantenerumab, and lecanemab...Donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine, and memantine are reimbursed in Germany, England, and Wales but not in France... Although clinical trials on new AD agents include HTA- and payer-relevant endpoints, it is highly recommended to also assess time to institutionalisation, HRQoL, and caregiver burden to generate a compelling HTA and payer evidence package.

Journal: Pharmacological Comparative Characterization of REL-1017 (Esmethadone-HCl) and Other NMDAR Channel Blockers in Human Heterodimeric N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 27, 2022 In silico studies of NMDARs in closed and open conformation indicate that REL-1017 has a higher preference for docking and undocking the open-channel conformation compared to ketamine. In conclusion, the pharmacological characteristics of REL-1017 at NMDARs, including relatively low affinity at the NMDAR, NR1-2D subtype preference in the presence of 1 mM Mg, tau off and degree of trapping similar to (±)-ketamine, and preferential docking and undocking of the open NMDAR, could all be important variables for understanding the rapid-onset antidepressant effects of REL-1017 without psychotomimetic side effects.
