Rivastigmine interferes with the pharmacological activity of hydromethylthionine on presynaptic proteins in the line 66 model of frontotemporal dementia by Karima Schwab, Lianne Robinson, Anne Annschuetz, Eline Dreesen, Mandy Magbagbeolu, Valeria Melis, Franz Theuring, Charles R. Harrington, Claude M. Wischik, Gernot Riedel

“…The most prominent differences appeared in proteins of the SNARE complex (SNAP-25, VAMP-2, SNTX-1), but rivastigmine also interfered with the HMTM-dependent reduction in tau accumulation. These data extend our previous findings with L1 mice and provide evidence for a synaptic mechanism of interference between symptomatic and disease-modifying dementia therapies and an explanation for similar drug interactions observed in clinical trials.…”
