Reducing falls in Parkinson’s disease: interactions between donepezil and the 5‐HT6 receptor antagonist idalopirdine on falls in a rat model of impaired cognitive control of complex movements

Kucinski A, de Jong IEM, Sarter M (2017) Reducing falls in Parkinson’s disease: interactions between donepezil and the 5‐HT6 receptor antagonist idalopirdine on falls in a rat model of impaired cognitive control of complex movements. Eur J Neurosci 45:217-231.. doi: 10.1111/ejn.13354

Objective: To assess the effects of treatment on MCMCT performance and attention in DL rats. The combined treatment of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil and the 5-HT6 receptor antagonist idalopirdine (Lu AE58054) was use because it has been reported to exhibit synergistic pro-cholinergic activity in rats and improved cognition in patients with moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

Summary: This treatment may reduce fall propensity in patients.

Usage: 192-IgG-SAP aCSF infused bilaterally (120 ng/uL; 0.5 uL/hemisphere).
