HARMACOLOGY
Persistent activation of the central nervous system
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors by
the
excitatory
amino
acid
glutamate
has
been
hypothesized
to
contribute
to
the
symptomatology of Alzheimer’s disease. Memantine is postulated to
exert its therapeutic effect
through its action as a low to moderate affinity uncompetitive (open
channel) NMDA receptor
antagonist, which binds preferentially to the NMDA receptor-operated
cation channels. It
blocks the effects of pathologically elevated sustained levels of
glutamate that may lead to
neuronal dysfunction. There is no clinical evidence that memantine
prevents or slows
neurodegeneration or alters the course of the underlying dementing
process in patients with
Alzheimer’s disease. Memantine exhibits low to negligible affinity
for other receptors (GABA,
benzodiazepine, dopamine, adrenergic, noradrenergic, histamine and
glycine) or voltage-
dependent Ca
2+
, Na
+
or K
+
channels. In addition, it does not directly affect the acetylcholine
receptor or cholinergic transmission, which have been implicated in
the cholinomimetic side
effects
(e.g.,
increased
gastric
acid
secretion,
nausea
and
vomiting)
seen
with
acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Memantine showed antagonist effects
at the 5HT
3
receptor with
a potency similar to that for the NMDA receptor.
In vitro studies have shown that memantine does not affect the
reversible inhibition of
acetylcholinesterase by donepezil or galantamine.

bioavailability is almost 100%.
