Biochem/physiol Actions

Multifunctional drug designed to treat Alzhemier′s disease by combining in a single molecule the neuroprotective/neurorestorative effects of the (MAO)-B inhibitor rasagiline with the cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitory activity of rivastigmine.

Ladostigil, a carbamate is also a butyryl cholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitor. It possesses anti-inflammatory property and effectively reduces the levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages. It provides protection to cardiomyocytes. Ladostigil has neuroprotective functionality and has the potential to treat mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and spatial memory deficits development. It also exhibits protective effects during oxidative and nitrative stress.
