Pharmacodynamics

Neramexane is similar to memantine and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in that neramexane targets the cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s Disease by altering neurotransmitter signaling, but not the underlying pathological mechanisms that cause the disease (amyloid production or neurofibrillary tangle accumulation).

Mechanism of action

Neramexane is an uncompetitive NMDA receptor channel blocker.

General Function
NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels with reduced single-channel conductance, low calcium permeability and low voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Mediated by glycine. During the development of neural circuits, plays a role in the synaptic refinement period, restricting spine maturation and growth. By competing with GIT1 interaction with ARHGEF7/beta-PIX, may reduce GIT1/ARHGEF7-regulated local activation of RAC1, hence affecting signaling and limiting the maturation and growth of inactive synapses. May also play a role in PPP2CB-NMDAR mediated signaling mechanism
