Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Several diagnostic procedures have been carried out for implementing a successful treatment procedure for Alzheimer’s disease. Most of the researches went in vain and many other scientists continued their researches for the same. Recent researches in Neurological areas have found an innovative diagnostic procedure for detecting the primary stages of Alzheimer’s disease. As only symptomatic treatments are now available for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), safe and effective mechanism-based therapies remain a great unmet need for patients with this neurodegenerative disease. Biochemical derivatives of complex molecules have been derived for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in its primary stage. Thus we propose that targeting cholinesterase and Beta-secretase (BACE1) may be an effective and safe treatment strategy for AD. Nanotechnology and Disease modifying drugs has delivered significant developments in the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, has also been depicted here.
