Treatment of Alzheimer's disease: rationale and strategies
Abstract
This article reviews the rationale and provides a progress update regarding the major treatment strategies being developed for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Various therapeutic areas are discussed, including acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and other cholinergic agents, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory drugs, hormone replacement therapy, antiamyloid treatment, and neurotrophic agents.
