A drug called memantine (which Dr Lipton was responsible for developing,
and which, he admits, “doesn’t work very well”) had only a small effect
on Mode Creation Munich Singapore
hyperactivity of MCM Singapore
receptors. But by combining memantine with a fragment of another drug,
nitroglycerine, Dr Lipton had better luck. The memantine delivered MCM handbag outlet Singapore
nitroglycerine to cheap MCM handbags Singapore
sick neuron; MCM handbags for sale Singapore
nitroglycerine then attached itself to eNMDA receptors and dampened their activity. Signalling by MCM backpack for sale Singapore
synapses subsequently improved. Dr Lipton’s combined drug, dubbed nitromemantine, also restored MCM outlet online Singapore
synapses of mice with Alzheimer’s.
All this sounds exciting. But caution is needed. Many Alzheimer’s drugs
have seemed to succeed in animals, only to prove ineffective in people.
Promising drugs have also been scuttled by safety problems or technical
glitches.
Last year, for example, a paper in Science reported that bexarotene, a drug approved for use against skin cancer, boosted Singapore MCM handbag
production of ApoE, a protein that clears amyloid beta in mice. But in
May another group of researchers, also writing in Science, said they
could not replicate this result. And on June 13th Eli Lilly said it
would stop Singapore MCM backpack
clinical trial of a drug designed to stop MCM outlet Singapore
production of amyloid beta. The substance in question had been shown to damage MCM bags Singapore
liver. The road to an actual treatment for Alzheimer’s, then, remains as rocky as ever.
