PHARMACOLOGY
It has been demonstrated
that Alzheimer’s disease is associated with a relative
decrease in the activity of the cholinergic system in the cerebral
cortex and other
areas of the brain. Studies suggest that donepezil hydrochloride
exerts its therapeutic

accomplished by increasing the concentration of acetylcholine through
reversible
inhibition of acetylcholinesterase.
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Donepezil hydrochloride is a specific and reversible inhibitor of
acetylcholinesterase,
the predominant cholinesterase in the brain. Donepezil hydrochloride
was found _in_
_ _
_vitro _ to be over 1,000 times more potent an inhibitor of this
enzyme than of
butyrylcholinesterase, an enzyme which is present mainly outside the
central nervous
system.
In patients with Alzheimer’s dementia participating in clinical
trials, administration of
single daily doses of donepezil hydrochloride 5 or 10 mg produced
steady-state
inhibition of acetyl
