Recent studies using the mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have shown that donepezil administration reduces brain amyloid-beta (A beta) accumulation. This study investigated whether donepezil administration can reduce brain A beta accumulation in human patients with AD. Ten patients with AD underwent two C-11-Pittsburgh Compound B positron emission tomography sessions approximately one year apart to measure brain A beta accumulation before and after donepezil treatment. Volumes-of-interest were placed on All-preferred regions, and the standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) was calculated considering the cerebellum as a reference region. Three and seven patients received 10 mg and 5 mg of donepezil, respectively. SUVR was significantly higher in the second than in the first session (P = 0.026). This study showed that one year of donepezil administration does not reduce brain A beta accumulation in human patients with AD. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
