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 improves cognitive function, memory, and daily living activities in mild to moderate cases. It crosses the blood-brain barrier effectively, enhancing neurotransmission in central nervous system pathways involved in learning and memory. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential neuroprotective properties and ability to modulate amyloid aggregation, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s pathology. Its use is limited by side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances and hepatotoxicity, requiring regular monitoring during therapy.
