Popis: The effect of aminostigmine alone and in combination with pyrazidole on mnemonic function in rats and mice was studied using passive avoidance conditioned reflex. Aminostigmine is comparable with the reference drug galanthamine in the ability to improve learning and memory, while the aminostigmine - pyrazidole combination even exceeds the reference drug in this respect. Pyrazidole also potentiates the antiamnesic effect of galanthamine. A combination of pyrazidole (possessing no anticholinesterase properties) with anticholinesterase agents can be useful for the complex treatment of dementia.
