Alzheimer disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, mainly affecting older people, which severely impairs patients' quality of life. In the recent years, number affected individuals has seen rapid increase. It estimated that up to 107 million subjects will be by 2050 worldwide. Research in this area revealed lot about biological and environmental underpinnings Alzheimer, especially its correlation with β-Amyloid Tau related mechanics; however, precise molecular events pathways behind are yet discovered. review, we focus our attention on mechanics may lie development. particular, briefly describe genetic elements discuss specific processes potentially associated disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the main dementia type accounting for over 70 % of entire population, progressive decline in memory and executive function. AD pathology is characterized by amyloid fibrils neurofibrillary tangles. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme involved hydrolysis neurotransmitter acetylcholine, consistently colocalizes with deposits characteristic may contribute to generation proteins. AChE a potent amyloid-promoting factor when compared other c-associated inhibitors play vital role prevent formation toxic oligomeric form peptide. Recent studies have reported that acetylcholinesterase (ChE-Is) are present plants, fungi, marine products. Some cholinesterase inhibitors, obtained from plant source such as rivastigmine, donepezil, galantamine, used treatment AD, offer alternative approach alleviate its symptoms reducing Aβ. Due limited efficacy current drugs there huge potential phytomedicines AD. Medicinal herbs herbal drug preparations traditionally been treat neurological disorders exhibiting anti-inflammatory neuroprotective properties. Phytomedicines containing flavonoids, polyphenols, naturally occurring antioxidants crosses blood-brain barrier protect neurons oxidative stress. As synthetic drugs, fewer side effects. Therefore, recent research focused explore develop it effective In our review, we summarized amyloid-deposition, Acetylcholinesterase, phytoconstituents inhibitory activity treatment.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a distinctive form of dementia characterized by age-related cognitive decline and memory impairment. A key hallmark AD the irreversible overaccumulation beta-amyloid (Aβ) in brain, associated with neuroinflammation neuronal death. Although Aβ clearance immunoregulation have been major therapeutic strategies for AD, highly selective transport across blood–brain barrier (BBB) negatively affects delivery efficacy drugs without ability to cross BBB. In this review, we discuss potential lipid-based nanoparticles (LBNs) as promising vehicles drug treatment. LBNs, composed phospholipid mono- or bilayer, attracted attention due their exceptional cellular penetration capabilities loading capabilities, which also facilitate cargo transcytosis Recent advances development engineering LBNs overcome existing limitations current clinical approaches treatment addressing off-target effects low efficacy. Here, review pathways BBB, well various types therapy, including exosomes, liposomes, solid lipid (SLNs), nanostructured carriers (NLCs), elucidate properties, preparation methodologies, efficacy, thereby offering innovative avenues novel translation therapy.

Curcumin, the dietary polyphenol isolated from Curcuma longa (turmeric), is commonly used as an herb and spice worldwide. Because of its bio-pharmacological effects curcumin also called “spice life”, in fact it recognized that possesses important proprieties such anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, antiproliferative, anti-tumoral, anti-aging. Neurodegenerative diseases Alzheimer’s Diseases, Parkinson’s Multiple Sclerosis are a group characterized by progressive loss brain structure function due to neuronal death; at present there no effective treatment cure these diseases. The protective effect against some neurodegenerative has been proven vivo vitro studies. current review highlights latest findings on neuroprotective curcumin, bioavailability, mechanism action possible application for prevention or disorders.

AD is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. Many different signaling pathways, such as Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, ROS/JNK, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR are involved in Alzheimer's disease crosstalk between themselves. A promising treatment involves the uses of flavonoids, one most curcumin; however, because it has difficulty permeating blood-brain barrier (BBB), must be encapsulated by drug carrier. Some frequently studied lipid nanocarriers, liposomes, micelles PLGA. These carriers further conjugated with brain-targeting agents lactoferrin transferrin. In this review paper, curcumin its therapeutic effects, which have been examined vivo, analyzed then delivery systems to brain addressed. Overall, analysis literature revealed great potential for treating indicated challenges that require research.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential post-transcriptional gene regulators involved in various neuronal and non-neuronal cell functions play a key role pathological conditions. Numerous studies have demonstrated that miRNAs dysregulated major neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral or Huntington’s disease. Hence, the present work, we constructed comprehensive overview of individual microRNA alterations models above diseases. We also provided evidence promising biomarkers for prognostic diagnostic approaches. In addition, summarized data from literature about miRNA-based therapeutic applications via inhibiting promoting miRNA expression. finally identified overlapping signature across including miR-128, miR-140-5p, miR-206, miR-326, miR-155, associated with etiological cellular mechanisms.
