Donepezil Potentiates Nerve Growth Factor-Induced Neurite Outgrowth in PC12 Cells

Donepezil is a potent and selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. To elucidate whether donepezil causes neuronal differentiation, we examined its effect on nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Donepezil (10 µM) signif...
