Overview | dihydrogalanthamine is a dihydroderivative of Galanthamine, with pharmacological effects similar to that of Galanthamine Hydrobromide, but with weak effects. White crystalline powder at room temperature, odorless, bitter, melting point of 230~237. Soluble in water, ethanol-soluble, insoluble in chloroform, acetone, ether, benzene, its salts easily hydrolyzed. Extracted from Lycoris sativa or Lycoris radiata. It has the effect of inhibiting cholinesterase, but its inhibitory effect is weak and its toxicity is small. In the digestive tract than lycorine is easy to absorb. Its therapeutic index is close to galantamine. Clinically, dihydrogalanthamine is mainly used for the treatment of myasthenia gravis and polio sequelae. It is contraindicated in patients with epilepsy, bronchial asthma, mechanical ileus or angina pectoris. |
galantamine | Galantamine Hydrobromide is the hydrobromide form of the reversible cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor galantamine, galantamine is a phenanthridine alkaloid discovered by scholars of the former Soviet Union in the 50's. It is a reversible cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor and can selectively inhibit the true cholinesterase (AChE). Galantamine is the second generation of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drugs, and its pharmaceutical ingredients are the same as those of the alkaloids extracted from the bulbs of the European mountain flowers. The plant medicine has been used in some countries and regions for more than 30 years, for the treatment of reversal of neuromuscular blockade, myasthenia gravis and infantile cerebral palsy. China in the 60s from domestic Lycoris, safflower Lycoris, and other isolated in 1977and contained in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, with its hydrobromide. since the 70 s, studies have found that human memory is related to acetylcholine in the brain, the messenger acetylcholine and its related signal transduction, cholinergic neurotransmission between nerve cells in the brain plays a key role in learning and memory. However, the low level of Ach in the brain of AD patients and the weakening of the above signal transduction may be an important reason for the deterioration of cognitive function and memory impairment. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitor galantamine can inhibit the AC ratio of the central synaptic cleft, prevent the decomposition of ACh, increase the concentration of ACh, and enhance the stimulation and depolarization of acetylcholine, regulating the expression of acetylcholine receptor, so as to achieve the purpose of improving memory and cognitive function; At the same time galantamine can modify, change the receptor structure, plays a role in activating acetylcholine receptor. galantamine preparations on the market, It is clinically used to improve the overall function of AD patients. The drug has a dual mechanism of action, can better stimulate and inhibit acetylcholinesterase, and can regulate the nicotinic receptor sites in the brain, can significantly improve the cognitive function of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, slow down the process of brain cell dysfunction. |
