donepezil and Sleep Wake Disorders

donepezil has been researched along with Sleep Wake Disorders in 15 studies

Donepezil: An indan and piperidine derivative that acts as a selective and reversible inhibitor of ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE. Donepezil is highly selective for the central nervous system and is used in the management of mild to moderate DEMENTIA in ALZHEIMER DISEASE.
donepezil : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-donepezil. A centrally acting reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, its main therapeutic use is in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease where it is used to increase cortical acetylcholine.
2-[(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)methyl]-5,6-dimethoxyindan-1-one : A member of the class of indanones that is 5,6-dimethoxyindan-1-one which is substituted at position 2 by an (N-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)methyl group.

Sleep Wake Disorders: Abnormal sleep-wake schedule or pattern associated with the CIRCADIAN RHYTHM which affect the length, timing, and/or rigidity of the sleep-wake cycle relative to the day-night cycle.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"As cholinergic mechanisms may be at least partially responsible for hallucinations and delusions in Parkinson's disease (PD), we conducted an open study in 8 PD patients to assess the efficacy and tolerability of the cholinesterase inhibitor donepezil, 5 mg at bedtime for two months, in the treatment of these complications."9.10Donepezil in the treatment of hallucinations and delusions in Parkinson's disease. ( Aurilia, C; Barbanti, P; Fabbrini, G; Lenzi, GL; Meco, G; Pauletti, C, 2002)
"A severe intractable delirium caused by the basal forebrain vascular lesion and its dramatic recovery after donepezil administration were reported."7.72Severe delirium due to basal forebrain vascular lesion and efficacy of donepezil. ( Higashima, M; Kidani, T; Kobayashi, K; Koshino, Y; Mutou, K; Tachibana, O; Yamashita, J, 2004)
"Donepezil can increase the amount of time that children with an ASD spend in the REM sleep state."6.76An open label trial of donepezil for enhancement of rapid eye movement sleep in young children with autism spectrum disorders. ( Buckley, AW; Buckley, J; Jennison, K; Rodriguez, AJ; Sassower, K; Sato, S; Swedo, S; Thurm, A; Wingert, K, 2011)

"Whilst dementia has long been synonymous with AD, it is becoming more widely accepted as part of the clinical spectrum in PD (PDD)."2.53Current Treatment Options for Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease Dementia. ( Lewis, SJ; Szeto, JY, 2016)
" Three head-to-head trials of ChEIs in the treatment of AD have been published to date, but are limited due to their open-label design, rates of titration, and the drug dosage levels utilised."2.42The benefits and risks associated with cholinesterase inhibitor therapy in Alzheimer's disease. ( Herrmann, N; Lanctôt, KL; Thompson, S, 2004)
"Donepezil is a potent, selective inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, and selective inhibition of central as opposed to peripheral ChEs might be expected to reduce the incidence of AEs, thus this may explain the lower incidence of cholinergic AEs observed following treatment with donepezil, compared with nonselective ChE inhibitors."2.42The safety and tolerability of donepezil in patients with Alzheimer's disease. ( Ham, RJ; Jackson, S; Wilkinson, D, 2004)
"Treatments in Alzheimer's disease include treatment of cognitive impairment and behavioral manifestations (agitation, depression, anxiety, delusions)."1.30[Drug therapy strategies in Alzheimer's disease]. ( Lacomblez, L, 1998)
