pindolol and Acute Confusional Senile Dementia

pindolol has been researched along with Acute Confusional Senile Dementia in 4 studies

Pindolol: A moderately lipophilic beta blocker (ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS). It is non-cardioselective and has intrinsic sympathomimetic actions, but little membrane-stabilizing activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmocopoeia, 30th ed, p638)
pindolol : A member of the class of indols which is the 2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylamino)propyl ether derivative of 1H-indol-4-ol.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The hypothesis of this study was that central NE responsivity would predict aggression response to treatment with a NE medication, pindolol."5.11Noradrenergic activity is associated with response to pindolol in aggressive Alzheimer's disease patients. ( Eryavec, G; Herrmann, N; Khan, LR; Lanctôt, KL, 2004)
"These results suggest that cases of Alzheimer's disease express heterogeneities in neocortical pathology which are reflected in the laminar patterns of binding to postsynaptic receptors."1.28Laminar alterations in gamma-aminobutyric acidA, muscarinic, and beta adrenoceptors and neuron degeneration in cingulate cortex in Alzheimer's disease. ( Crino, PB; Vogt, BA; Volicer, L, 1991)
