Resumo

CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: A demência é uma síndrome caracterizada por declínio funcional e cognitivo, sendo a doença de Alzheimer (DA) uma das causas mais comuns e de alta prevalência em idosos. Sabe-se que não há medicamento capaz de interferir no curso da doença e as pesquisas para o tratamento da DA têm sido marcadas pelo surgimento e abandono de novas drogas. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever as drogas capazes de influenciar o curso da DA que têm sido estudadas para o tratamento da doença. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Revisão narrativa de artigos originais publicados mundialmente. MÉTODOS: Foi realizada uma busca sistematizada nas bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library/Cochrane e SciELO/Bireme. Cada um dos seguintes descritores “Mecanismos Moleculares de Ação Farmacológica” e “Quimioterapia” foram combinados com o descritor “Doença de Alzheimer”, todos encontrados no MeSH e DeCS. Os descritores foram usados sozinhos ou em combinação, fixando como filtros as publicações de 2009 a 2015, em língua inglesa, espanhola e portuguesa. RESULTADOS: Foram encontrados 6.888 artigos, dos quais 37 foram incluídos nesta revisão; 70,3% dos artigos selecionados tiveram boa qualidade com baixo ou indefinido risco de viés. Foram elencadas 86 drogas promissoras ao tratamento da AD. Elas foram classificadas em 20 categorias farmacológicas. CONCLUSÃO: Não há fármacos capazes de interferir no curso da DA com efetividade e segurança no tratamento. Contudo, os imunomoduladores foram considerados promissores devido ao fato de apresentarem efetividade e qualidade nos artigos analisados
