The present invention concerns a new pharmaceutical composition comprising an antagonist and a co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptor (NMDAR). The inventors found that the co-administration of these two compounds effectively inhibits production of amyloide-β peptide. In patient's suffering from Alzheimer's disease, these peptides are deposited in the extracellular matrix forming neuritic "plaques". Therefore, the present inventors identified a new possibility for prophylaxis and/or treatment of Alzheimer's disease by stopping the continued formation of neuropathological extracellular deposits.
本发明涉及一种新的药物组合物,包括N-
甲基-
D-天门冬氨酸型谷
氨酸受体(N
MDAR)的
拮抗剂和共激动剂。发明人发现这两种化合物的联合使用有效地抑制了淀粉样β肽的产生。在患有阿尔茨海默病的患者中,这些肽沉积在细胞外基质中形成神经突起“斑块”。因此,本发明人发现了一种新的预防和/或治疗阿尔茨海默病的可能性,即通过阻止神经病理性细胞外沉积物的持续形成。
