 Therapy : MAO & COMT inhibitors
 Alzhiemers
 loss of cholinergic neurons results in shrinkage of the brain
and other pathological conditions
 Therapy : Nootropic agents
 Antiamyloid antibodies
 NMDA receptor blocker
 Huntington
 Depletion of GABA neurons
 Therapy : GABA-B Agonist
 Ischaemic Brain Damage
 Decrease blood supply results in hypoxia
 Therapy : NMDA receptor blocker
CONCLUSION
 The optimistic view is that a better understanding of
the particular functions of the many molecular subtypes
of these targets, and the design of more subtype-
specific ligands, will lead to future breakthroughs.
