Donepezil Drug Classification

  • Pharmacological Class: Donepezil belongs to the class of medications known as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (or cholinesterase inhibitors).
  • Mechanism of Action: It works by reversibly inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the breakdown of acetylcholine.
  • Therapeutic Purpose: By preventing the degradation of this crucial neurotransmitter, donepezil helps increase the concentration of acetylcholine in the synaptic clefts of the brain, thereby temporarily improving or maintaining cognitive function and memory in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
