Foeniculum vulgare Mill, commonly known as fennel, is an aromatic herb traditionally used for culinary and medicinal purposes, with potential therapeutic effects on neurological disorders. However, limited research has focused its neurotrophic impact, particularly neuronal maturation synaptic development. This study investigates the of F. ethanol extracts (FVSE) rat primary hippocampal neurons. Results show that FVSE prominent component, anethole, significantly promote neurite outgrowth in a dose-dependent manner. Optimal axonal dendritic growth occurred at concentrations 40 µg/mL 20 µM respectively, without causing cytotoxicity, underscoring safety health. Additionally, enhances formation synapses, essential communication. Network pharmacology analysis revealed components influence critical pathways, including PI3K-AKT Alzheimer’s disease pathways. Specifically, modulates key proteins, tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk), glycogen synthase 3 (GSK3βser9), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), extracellular signal-regulated protein (Erk1/2). Anethole was found to play role regulating these which confirmed by immunocytochemistry experiments demonstrating effect promoting In conclusion, this highlights properties FVSE, anethole emerging bioactive compound. These findings provide valuable insights into fennel treating disorders, offering basis future interventions survival.

Polyphenols, naturally occurring phytonutrients found in plant-based foods, have attracted significant attention for their potential therapeutic effects neurological diseases and neuroinflammation. These compounds possess diverse neuroprotective capabilities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-amyloid properties, which contribute to mitigating the progression of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's (PD), Dementia, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Stroke, Huntington's (HD). Polyphenols been extensively studied ability regulate inflammatory responses by modulating activity pro-inflammatory genes influencing signal transduction pathways, thereby reducing neuroinflammation neuronal death. Additionally, polyphenols shown promise various cellular signaling pathways associated with viability, synaptic plasticity, cognitive function. Epidemiological clinical studies highlight polyphenol-rich diets decrease risk alleviate symptoms disorders Furthermore, demonstrated through regulation key Akt, Nrf2, STAT, MAPK, play critical roles neuroprotection body's immune response. This review emphasizes growing body evidence supporting combating neurodegeneration neuroinflammation, well enhancing brain health. Despite substantial promising hypotheses, further research investigations are necessary fully understand role establish them advanced targets age-related neuroinflammatory conditions.
