flumazenil and Alzheimer Disease

flumazenil has been researched along with Alzheimer Disease in 19 studies

Flumazenil: A potent benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. Since it reverses the sedative and other actions of benzodiazepines, it has been suggested as an antidote to benzodiazepine overdoses.
flumazenil : An organic heterotricyclic compound that is 5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine which is substituted at positions 3, 5, 6, and 8 by ethoxycarbonyl, methyl, oxo, and fluoro groups, respectively. It is used as an antidote to benzodiazepine overdose.

Alzheimer Disease: A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1049-57)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Propofol was administrated to the WT and AD Tg mice once a week for 8 or 12 weeks, respectively."1.40Chronic treatment with anesthetic propofol improves cognitive function and attenuates caspase activation in both aged and Alzheimer's disease transgenic mice. ( Dong, Y; Shao, H; Xia, W; Xie, Z; Yu, B; Zhang, Y, 2014)
"Neuronal loss in Alzheimer's disease, a better correlate of cognitive impairment than amyloid deposition, is currently gauged by the degree of regional atrophy."1.38Decreased carbon-11-flumazenil binding in early Alzheimer's disease. ( Arbizu, J; Marti-Climent, JM; Masdeu, JC; Pappatà, S; Pascual, B; Peñuelas, I; Prieto, E; Quincoces, G; Zarauza, R, 2012)
"Eight patients with probable Alzheimer's disease were studied."1.30Comparison of iodine-123-iomazenil SPECT and technetium-99m-HMPAO-SPECT in Alzheimer's disease. ( Fujita, M; Fukuchi, K; Hashikawa, K; Ishida, M; Kusuoka, H; Moriwaki, H; Nishimura, T; Oku, N; Seike, Y; Tanabe, H; Uehara, T, 1997)
"I-123 iomazenil SPECT in patients with Alzheimer's disease provided more sensitive information than Tc-99m HMPAO, allowing evaluation of brain perfusion and synaptic density."1.30Comparison between cortical distribution of I-123 iomazenil and Tc-99m HMPAO in patients with Alzheimer's disease using SPECT. ( Postiglione, A; Salvatore, M; Soricelli, A; Varrone, A, 1999)
"In patients with Alzheimer's disease, we determined the cerebral distribution of flumazenil tagged with carbon 11 ([11C]flumazenil), a ligand that binds to the gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptor complex, and the distribution of fludeoxyglucose tagged with fluorine 18 fludeoxyglucose F 18), a measure of local cerebral glucose metabolism."1.29Positron emission tomography measures of benzodiazepine binding in Alzheimer's disease. ( Foster, NL; Frey, KA; Koeppe, RA; Kuhl, DE; Meyer, M, 1995)
"In patients with Alzheimer's disease, the CBF (ratio to cerebellum) decreased significantly in the frontal cortex and the parietal cortex compared with the control values."1.29[Benzodiazepine receptor and cerebral blood flow in early Alzheimer's disease--SPECT study using 123I-iomazenil and 123I-IMP].
