Abstract
The landscape of pharmacological treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has undergone significant transformations with the advent of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) targeting β-Amyloid (Aβ) accumulation, one of the hallmark pathologies of AD. The approval and market introduction of monoclonal antibodies mark the dawn of a new era in AD therapeutics as well. Furthermore, considerable progress has also been made in the development of new drugs targeting non-Aβ and non-Tau protein pathways. These advancements are key in tackling the root causes of AD, offering hope for treatments that both relieve symptoms and slow disease progression, improving patient outcomes and quality of life. This review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the advances in drug development and application for AD, including those currently in clinical trials and those already approved for the market to treat patients.
随着针对阿尔茨海默病标志性病理之一--β 淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)积聚的疾病改变疗法(DMT)的出现,阿尔茨海默病(AD)的药物治疗格局发生了重大变化。单克隆抗体的批准和上市也标志着 AD 治疗新时代的到来。此外,针对非 Aβ 和非 Tau 蛋白通路的新药研发也取得了长足进展。这些进展是从根本上解决AD问题的关键,为缓解症状、延缓疾病进展、改善患者预后和生活质量的治疗方法带来了希望。本综述旨在全面介绍AD药物开发和应用的最新进展,包括目前正在进行临床试验的药物和已获准上市用于治疗患者的药物。
期刊介绍:
Brain Sciences (ISSN 2076-3425) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes and short communications in the areas of cognitive neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, molecular and cellular neuroscience, neural engineering, neuroimaging, neurolinguistics, neuropathy, systems neuroscience, and theoretical and computational neuroscience. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
