Biochem/physiol Actions

Mechanism of neuroprotection and cognition enhancement is not certain, but Dimebon blocks both cholinesterase and the NMDA receptor simultaneously and also appears to block the action of neurotoxic β-amyloid proteins and inhibit L-type calcium channels, and may exert a neuroprotective effect by blocking a novel target that involves mitochondrial pores.
