Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative characterized by beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and increased acetylcholinesterase (AchE) enzyme activities. Indole 3 carbinol (I3C) diindolylmethane (DIM) are reported to have neuroprotective activities against various neurological diseases, including ischemic stroke, Parkinson’s disease, neonatal asphyxia, depression, stress, neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, except for AD. In the present study, we investigated anti-AD effects of I3C DIM. Methods: Docking molecular dynamic studies AchE network pharmacological were conducted DIM’s self AchE-induced Aβ aggregation investigated. The DIM Aβ-induced neurotoxicity assessed in SH-S5Y5 cells observing cell viability ROS.

Abstract Neurodegenerative disorders are complex, progressive, and life-threatening. They cause mortality disability for millions of people worldwide. Appropriate treatment neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) is still clinically lacking due to the presence blood-brain barrier (BBB). Developing an effective transport system that can cross BBB enhance therapeutic effect neuroprotective agents has been a major challenge NDs. Exosomes endogenous nano-sized vesicles naturally carry biomolecular cargoes. Many studies have indicated exosome content, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), possess biological activities by targeting several signaling pathways involved in apoptosis, inflammation, autophagy, oxidative stress. Exosome content influence cellular function healthy or pathological ways. Furthermore, since exosomes reflect features parental cells, their cargoes offer opportunities early diagnosis intervention diseases. unique characteristics make them ideal delivering drugs directly brain. These include ability pass through BBB, biocompatibility, stability, innate properties. This review emphasizes role alleviating NDs discusses associated molecular mechanisms. exosomes, making promising natural transporter various medications brain combat NDs, also discussed.

Neurodegenerative diseases comprise a group of chronic, usually age-related, disorders characterized by progressive neuronal loss, deformation structure, or loss function, leading to substantially reduced quality life. They remain significant focus scientific and clinical interest due their increasing medical social importance. Most neurodegenerative present intracellular protein aggregation extracellular deposition (plaques), such as α-synuclein in Parkinson's disease amyloid beta (Aβ)/tau aggregates Alzheimer's. Conventional treatments for conditions incur high costs are related the development several adverse effects. In addition, many patients irresponsive them. For these reasons, there is growing tendency find new therapeutic approaches help patients. This review intends investigate some phytocompounds' effects on diseases. These generally increased oxidative stress inflammation, so phytocompounds can prevent treat To achieve our aim provide critical assessment current literature about phytochemicals targeting neurodegeneration, we reviewed reputable databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, COCHRANE, seeking trials that utilized against conditions. A few investigated humans, after screening, 13 were ultimately included following PRISMA guidelines. compounds include polyphenols (flavonoids luteolin quercetin, phenolic acids rosmarinic acid, ferulic caffeic other like resveratrol), alkaloids (such berberine, huperzine A, caffeine), terpenoids ginkgolides limonene). The gathered evidence underscores caffeine, ginkgolides, primarily anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, counteracting neuroinflammation, oxidation, synaptic dysfunctions, which crucial aspects intervention various conditions, Alzheimer's dementias, depression, neuropsychiatric disorders. summary, they show use improvements cognition, memory, disinhibition, irritability/lability, aberrant behavior, hallucinations, mood
