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.
