Velnacrine (9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridin-1-ol) is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. It was studied for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease however development was discontinued. There has been no research into the use of velnacrine as a cognitive enhancer in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease since 1994. The FDA peripheral and CNS drug advisory board voted unanimously against recommending approval. This review shows the toxic nature of velnacrine, and provides no evidence of efficacy.

Sample Use Guides

Velnacrine for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (a double-blind, placebo-controlled trials): 10, 25, 50 and 75 mg t.i.d. The 225 mg/day dose appears to be safe for use in multicenter outpatient trials of velnacrine efficacy in Alzheimer's disease.
Route of Administration: Oral
Human erythrocyte suspensions were incubated with acetylcholine and choline in the absence or presence of 10 microM atropine or 10 microM velnacrine maleate.
