Description
Posatirelin is a TRH analogue. In a rat experimental model of brain cholinergic decit by lesion of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (nbM), posatirelin treatment rescued cholinergic neurones of the nbM and their cholinergic projections to the cerebral cortex (Sabbatini et al., 1998). Posatirelin has been used in AD and VaD patients (Parnetti et al., 1995, 1996). VaD patients treated with posatirelin showed a signicant improvement in intellectual performance, orientation, motivation and memory as compared to controls. e drug was well tolerated.
