Q: Is Nemdaa a nootropic. : No. Nemdaa does not fit in the generally accepted ?
Q: Is Nemdaa a cholinesterase inhibitor?
A: No. Nemdaa does not function by inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme found in the endings of nerve cells. Rather, it acts by preventing the toxicity of an excitatory substance called glutamate in the brain.
Q: Is Nemdaa a NMDA receptor antagonist?
A: Yes. Nemdaa acts as an antagonist at the NMDA receptor. This is the receptor in the brain through which glutamate, an excitatory substance, damages the nerve cells in the brain, which is found in Alzheimer's disease.
