Donepezil: reversible AChE inhibitor, increases synaptic acetylcholine. Memantine: uncompetitive low-affinity NMDA receptor antagonist, dampens pathological glutamate overactivation while preserving normal synaptic signaling. Targets two distinct mechanisms in Alzheimer's. (1) · Highly β1-selective adrenergic antagonist. Greater selectivity than metoprolol or atenolol. (1) · The d-enantiomer is a highly β1-selective antagonist; the l-enantiomer triggers endothelial nitric-oxide–mediated vasodilation. Unique among beta blockers for this NO mechanism. (1) · '"`UNIQ--vote-00001269-QINU`"' Renal, GI, hypertensive, and CV effects parallel the class profile; modest COX-2 preference may underlie some literature suggesting slightly better GI tolerability than non-selective NSAIDs, though clinically the difference is small'"`UNIQ--ref-0000126A-QINU`"'.
