Memantine: targeting glutamate excitotoxicity in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias
Open accessAbstract
The management of dementia has changed since the development of new antidementia drugs. The benefits observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) with selective cholinergic transmission treatments are mainly symptomatic, without clear evidence of neuroprotection. The hypothesis that glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity is involved in the pathogenesis of AD is finding increasingly more acceptance in the scientific community. Glutamate receptors are overactive, and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists have therapeutic potential for the treatment of AD and other neurological disorders. Memantine is a noncompetitive NMDA antagonist that is considered a neuroprotective drug. Memantine's capacity has been demonstrated in preclinical studies, and it is considered a useful symptomatic treatment for AD. Memantine has been shown to benefit cognition, function, and global outcome in patients with moderate to severe AD, and it is currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of moderate to severe AD. Recently, memantine has also demonstrated efficacy in the initial stages of AD, although FDA authorization is pending. This review highlights the important pharmacological and clinical aspects of memantine, as well as some basic mechanisms mediating glutamatergic neurodegeneration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
