Brief Summary:
Pharmacological treatment of AD is currently based on cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI) and memantine, which have been shown to lead to modest, although effective, clinical benefits. Donepezil is a ChEI metabolized through the cytochrome P (CYP) 450, primarily by the 3A4 and 2D6 isoforms. The CYP2D6 gene presents polymorphisms that can alter its expression. The plasma therapeutic level ranges from 30 to 75 ng/mL, and 50% of acetylcholinesterase inhibition is achieved when the concentration reaches 15.6 ng/mL. An optimal plasma level is greater than 50 ng/mL.
These polymorphisms may influence the individual's response to treatment with donepezil and the concentration of the drug in AD patients, without achieving the desired effect. However, most of the individuals are EM, i.e., the metabolism of the drug occurs according to the expected kinetics and is associated with the presence of one or two wild-type alleles.
Objective: investigate the pattern of clinical response to donepezil in a group of patients with AD and AD with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) in relation to the plasmatic concentration of donepezil and polymorphisms of the CYP2D6 and apolipoprotein E (APOE) genes.

Detailed Description:
Patients taking donepezil were seen four times (from June 2009 to March 2013) and were submitted to the MMSE test, the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer'sDisease battery (CERAD), and the Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire. CERAD memory evaluation was further divided into five components: incidental recall (CERAD151 INC), immediate recall 1 and 2 (CERAD-RM1, CERAD-RM2, respectively) and delayed recall after five minutes (CERAD-R). Each aspect was analyzed individually and compared between groups at baseline and after 12 months of treatment with donepezil. All patients had blood samples (10mL) collected to obtain donepezil plasmatic concentration (DPC) measurements and for APOE and CYP2D6 genotyping.
