Cognitive Enhancers (Nootropics). Part 2: Drugs Interacting with Enzymes. Update 2014
Résumé
Scientists working in the field of Alzheimer's disease and, in particular, cognitive enhancers are very productive. The review on Drugs interacting with Enzymes was accepted in August 2012. However, this field is very dynamic. New potential targets for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease were identified. This update describes drugs interacting with 60 enzymes versus 43 enzymes in the first paper. Some compounds progressed in their development, while many others were discontinued. The present review covers the evolution of research in this field through April 2014.

Anti-inflammatoire non stéroïdien
Les anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens, souvent abrégés en AINS, sont des médicaments aux propriétés antalgiques, antipyrétiques et anti-inflammatoires. Ils réduisent la douleur, la fièvre et l'inflammation. Le terme « non stéroïdien » est utilisé pour les distinguer des glucocorticoïdes (appelés communément corticoïdes), qui (parmi un large éventail d'effets) ont une semblable action anti-inflammatoire (dépression des eicosanoïdes).

Recreational drug use
Recreational drug use is the use of one or more psychoactive drugs to induce an altered state of consciousness, either for pleasure or for some other casual purpose or pastime. When a psychoactive drug enters the user's body, it induces an intoxicating effect. Generally, recreational drugs are divided into three categories: depressants (drugs that induce a feeling of relaxation and calmness), stimulants (drugs that induce a sense of energy and alertness), and hallucinogens (drugs that induce perceptual distortions such as hallucination).
Conception de médicament
La conception de médicament, plus précisément conception de substance pharmacologiquement active plus connue sous sa dénomination anglaise Drug design est l'ensemble des processus nécessaires à l'élaboration d'un médicament. Dans l'industrie pharmaceutique, ces processus peuvent-être subdivisés et répartis en quatre phases ou étapes : La phase de recherche La phase de développement La phase clinique La phase de mise sur le marché Remarque : Les phases de recherche et développement sont communément dénommées R&D.
