OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of huperzine A for patients with mild and moderate Alzheimer disease(AD). METHODS: The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing huperzine A with placebo retrieved from Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CBMdisc and CNKI were enrolled. The methodology quality of the included studies was evaluated and a Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan4.2 software. RESULTS: A total of five RCTs were included. The Meta-analysis results showed that as compared with placebo, huperzine A treatment significantly increased the scores of MMSE, decreased the scores of ADL(activities of daily living), moreover, the associated therapeutic effect increased gradually with the prolonging of the treatment time yet with small publication bias; huperzine A treatment significantly increased the scores of MQ(memory quotient), but some publication bias might be existed because of the small number of RCTs included. The sensitivity analysis on the comparison of HDS score changes showed that the influence of the quality of the RCTs could reverse the results. The comparison on effective rate showed that huperzine A was more effective than placebo. The comparison on safety showed that huperzine A was more likely to induced side effects than placebo, but the publication bias was big because there was only a few literature included. CONCLUSION: According to the Meta-analysis’s results, we think huperzine A is effective in improving memory and cognitive function of AD patients, and there is significant difference in clinical efficacy as compared with placebo, and there is small publication bias. In terms of safety, huperzine A has higher incidence of side effects than placebo, but the side effects are mostly mild and have little impact on the treatment. The above conclusion may serve as reference for clinical medication.
