Donepezil Hydrochloride (E2020) is a reversible, selective AChE inhibitor with an IC50 of 6.7 nM, showing high selectivity for AChE over BuChE. It exhibits a neuroprotective effect on Aβ42 neurotoxicity. In vivo, Donepezil treatment prevents the progression of scopolamine-induced memory impairment in mice, demonstrating its potential in neurodegenerative research.
