Galanthamine HBr (1953-04-4) is a long-acting, centrally active acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, IC50 = 410 nM.1 Allosteric potentiator at neuronal nicotinic ACh receptors.2 Prevents β-amyloid-induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y and bovine chromaffin cells.3 Galanthamine HBr is a clinically useful agent for symptomatic relief of Alzheimer’s disease but fails to prevent progression of the disease.4,5
