Risperidone ameliorated 1,2-Diacetylbenzene-induced cognitive impairments in mice via activating prolactin signaling pathways

Hai Duc Nguyen et al.

Summary: Cognitive impairment and organic solvent exposure are significant concerns in public health. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of risperidone on cognitive impairment caused by 1,2-diacetylbenzene (DAB) using in vivo and in silico methods. Risperidone was found to alleviate DAB-induced cognitive impairment through various molecular mechanisms, including inhibition of GSK-3β, amyloid-β, CDK5, BACE, and tau hyperphosphorylation. It also suppressed DAB-induced activation of inflammatory pathways and oxidative stress. In silico analyses identified the involvement of prolactin signaling, miRNA regulation, and CEBPB in the pathophysiology of DAB-induced cognitive impairment. These findings suggest the potential use of risperidone in treating cognitive impairment caused by organic solvents, particularly DAB.
