CAS 41100-52-1: Memantine hydrochloride
Description:Memantine hydrochloride is a pharmaceutical compound primarily used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. It acts as an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, which helps to regulate glutamate activity in the brain, thereby potentially improving cognitive function and slowing disease progression. The substance is typically presented as a white to off-white crystalline powder, soluble in water, and has a relatively low molecular weight. Memantine hydrochloride has a pKa value indicating its weak basic nature, which influences its absorption and distribution in the body. The compound is administered orally, often in the form of tablets or solution, and its pharmacokinetics show a moderate half-life, allowing for once or twice daily dosing. Side effects may include dizziness, headache, and constipation, but it is generally well-tolerated. As with any medication, it is essential to use memantine hydrochloride under medical supervision to monitor efficacy and manage any potential adverse effects.
