Ameliorative effects of bromelain on aluminum-induced Alzheimer's disease in rats through modulation of TXNIP pathway

Salma M. Eraky et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked to brain insulin resistance, and this study explored the roles of TXNIP, P-IRS-1, and PI3K in AD pathogenesis. The study found that bromelain showed similar effects to donepezil in improving cognitive functions, anxiety, and depression levels in an AD rat model. Bromelain and donepezil both ameliorated neuronal degeneration and amyloid plaque deposition. Acetylcholine esterase levels were decreased by bromelain and donepezil treatment. The study also revealed the modulatory effect of bromelain on the TXNIP/P-IRS-1/PI3K axis in AD.

Discovery of New 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles with Dual Activity Targeting the Cholinergic Pathway as Effective Anti-Alzheimer Agents

Nehal H. Elghazawy et al.

Summary: This study presents the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a new series of compounds based on a 5-pyrid-3-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazole scaffold as potential therapeutically effective agents against Alzheimer's disease (AD). The synthesized compounds displayed excellent in vitro enzyme inhibitory activity against major AD disease-modifying targets. Compound 5e was found to be the best dual inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) among all the compounds evaluated, surpassing the FDA-approved inhibitor rivastigmine. In vivo and ex vivo testing of compound 5e further demonstrated its significant AD-biotargeting effects.

Chemical profiling, antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory and in silico modeling of Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Artemisia herba alba Asso. essential oils from Algeria

Benabdallah Amina et al.

Summary: This study investigated the chemical composition, antioxidant, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-amylase, and cholinesterase inhibitory activities of wormwood and rosemary essential oils. Molecular docking tools were used to explain the interaction between chemical constituents and enzymes. The results showed that rosemary oil had higher antioxidant and cholinesterase inhibitory activities, while wormwood oil was more effective against antidiabetic inhibitory enzymes. Molecular modeling verified the strong binding affinity of certain chemical compounds from rosemary with the studied enzymes. These findings contribute to the understanding of the biological activities of rosemary and wormwood and their potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Maria Pilar de Torre et al.

Summary: This study tested the anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity of 90 extracts from 30 native and naturalized medicinal plants. The ethanolic extract from the aerial parts of O. vulgare ssp. vulgare showed the strongest AChE inhibition and its chemical composition was identified. Additionally, the oregano extract exhibited high antioxidant activity.

Recent trends in the application of essential oils: The next generation of food preservation and food packaging

Srutee Rout et al.

Summary: This review discusses the application of essential oils (EOs) in food preservation and shelf-life augmentation. EOs have antimicrobial properties and can protect the quality of food matrices. Encapsulation and nano-encapsulation techniques can overcome the limitations of EOs in water solubility, volatility, and stability. Smart packaging systems are also proposed to extend the shelf life of food products.

A Comprehensive Review on the Ethnopharmacology, Phytochemistry, Pharmacolo-gy, and Toxicology of the Mandragora Genus; from Folk Medicine to Modern Medicine

Taha Monadi et al.

Summary: The Mandragora genus of the Solanaceae family is well-known for its mythological associations and has been used in herbal medicine since ancient times. This literature review provides a comprehensive summary of the ethnobotany, Persian medicine, traditional use, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicity profile of Mandragora species. The plant has been traditionally used for treating various conditions, and studies have confirmed its biological activities, highlighting the potential therapeutic effects of its alkaloids, coumarins, withanolides, and lipid-like compounds. Further in vivo and toxicological studies are needed to validate its clinical safety and efficacy.
