“…Evaluation of dimebon against a set of biochemical targets indicated that dimebon inhibits alpha-adrenergic receptors (alpha1A, alpha1B, and alpha1D, and alpha2A, alpha 2B, and alpha 2C), histamine H1 and H2 receptors and serotonin receptors (5-HT-2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, 5-HT5A, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7), dopamine receptors (D, D2S, and D3), and imidazoline I2 receptors (Schaffhauser et al, 2009;Giorgetti et al, 2010). At low concentrations, dimebon potentiates the activity of AMPA-receptors and blocks NMDA-receptors in neurons (Grigorev et al, 2003).…”
