===Mechanism of Action===
Aricept is a potent [[Acetylcholinesterase]] inhibitor. It binds along the active-site gorge, extending from the anionic subsite (W84) to the peripheral anionic site (w279). Interestingly, it does not directly interact with the catalytic triad or Oxyanion hole of AChE, but rather only interacts via aromatic stacking and solvent mediated interactions.
