This article discusses the treatment approaches for Alzheimer's disease, including approved drugs, investigational therapies, and alternative methods to improve lifestyle.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. The pathophysiology of this disease is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta, leading to the formation of senile plaques, and by the intracellular presence of neurofibrillary tangles based on hyperphosphorylated tau protein. In the therapeutic approach to AD, we can identify three important fronts: the approved drugs currently available for the treatment of the disease, which include aducanumab, donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine, memantine, and a combination of memantine and donepezil; therapies under investigation that work mainly on A beta pathology and tau pathology, and which include gamma-secretase inhibitors, beta-secretase inhibitors, alpha-secretase modulators, aggregation inhibitors, metal interfering drugs, drugs that enhance A beta clearance, inhibitors of tau protein hyperphosphorylation, tau protein aggregation inhibitors, and drugs that promote the clearance of tau, and finally, other alternative therapies designed to improve lifestyle, thus contributing to the prevention of the disease. Therefore, the aim of this review was to analyze and describe current treatments and possible future alternatives in the therapeutic approach to AD.
