According to Wikipedia, Hachiro Sugimoto is a Japanese chemist and pharmacologist, known for his discovery of Donepezil. Research Sugimoto's research on E2020 , an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, first began at Eisai's Tsukuba Research Laboratories in 1983, because his mother suffered from dementia. At that time, there was a hypothesis suggested that acetylcholines were closely linked to abnormal decreases in memory function in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
