Article · Español
La memantina es un fármaco antagonista no competitivo del receptor NMDA (N-metil-D-aspartato), con afinidad moderada, fuertemente dependiente de voltaje y con cinéticas de bloqueo y desbloqueo rápidas. El bloqueo del receptor NMDA modula los efectos de la elevación patológica del glutamato que es dañino para la función neuronal. De esta forma la memantina reduce la excitotoxicidad inducida por el NMDA, pero aun así permite la activación del receptor para las funciones fisiológicas. Se utiliza para el tratamiento de varias enfermedades neuropsiquiátricas, entre ellas la enfermedad de Alzheimer. La memantina ha demostrado tener un efecto beneficioso en el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Alzheimer moderada a severa. No obstante, en la enfermedad de Alzheimer leve y moderada no se ha demostrado fehacientemente su utilidad.
