propranolol and Amnesia

propranolol has been researched along with Amnesia in 20 studies

Propranolol: A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.
propranolol : A propanolamine that is propan-2-ol substituted by a propan-2-ylamino group at position 1 and a naphthalen-1-yloxy group at position 3.

Amnesia: Pathologic partial or complete loss of the ability to recall past experiences (AMNESIA, RETROGRADE) or to form new memories (AMNESIA, ANTEROGRADE). This condition may be of organic or psychologic origin. Organic forms of amnesia are usually associated with dysfunction of the DIENCEPHALON or HIPPOCAMPUS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp426-7)

( Berman, RF; Ellis, ME; Kesner, RP, 1983)
"With the ultimate goal of investigating boundary conditions for post-reactivation amnesia, we set out to replicate studies in which systemic, post-reactivation administration of midazolam, propranolol, or cycloheximide resulted in amnesia for contextual fear memories."3.91Limited replicability of drug-induced amnesia after contextual fear memory retrieval in rats. ( Alfei, JM; Beckers, T; Luyten, L; Schnell, AE; Schroyens, N, 2019)
"We report a case of migraine-associated ischemic stroke causing amnesia, wherein treatment with propranolol may have been contributory."3.69Migrainous stroke causing thalamic infarction and amnesia during treatment with propranolol. ( Greiner, F; Hamilton, WJ; Mendizabal, JE; Rothrock, JF, 1997)
"Bitemporal injections of puromycin that primarily affect the hippocampal-entorhinal area induce amnesia of aversive maze-learning in mice for 3 days after training but are ineffective 6 or more days after training."3.67Blockade of beta 1- but not of beta 2-adrenergic receptors replicates propranolol's suppression of the cerebral spread of an engram in mice. ( Brunswick, DJ; Church, AC; Flexner, JB; Flexner, LB; Rainbow, TC, 1985)

( Berman, RF; Ellis, ME; Kesner, RP, 1983)
"Due to the complex nature of Alzheimer's disease, multi-target-directed ligand approaches are one of the most promising strategies in the search for effective treatments."1.42Synthesis of new N-benzylpiperidine derivatives as cholinesterase inhibitors with β-amyloid anti-aggregation properties and beneficial effects on memory in vivo.
