Used primarily in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, this compound acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor, helping to increase acetylcholine levels in the brain. It supports cognitive function by enhancing cholinergic neurotransmission, which is often diminished in neurodegenerative conditions. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier makes it effective for targeting central nervous system disorders. Additionally, it has been explored for potential neuroprotective effects and use in managing symptoms of cognitive decline associated with aging and other neurological diseases.
