glimepiride: structure given in first source

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)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Glimepiride treatment was associated with altered synaptic membranes including the loss of specific glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins including the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) that acts as a receptor for Aβ42, increased synaptic gangliosides and altered cell signalling."1.43Glimepiride protects neurons against amyloid-β-induced synapse damage. ( Bate, C; McHale-Owen, H; Nolan, W; Osborne, C; West, E; Williams, A, 2016)
"Glimepiride was found to interact with AChE enzyme at the same locus as that of substrate acetylcholine iodide (AChI)."1.43Kinetics and Molecular Docking Study of an Anti-diabetic Drug Glimepiride as Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor: Implication for Alzheimer's Disease-Diabetes Dual Therapy. ( Abuzenadah, AM; Ahmad, A; Haneef, M; Naaz, D; Rizvi, SM; Shaikh, S; Shakil, S, 2016)
