PPAR agonists as therapeutics for CNS trauma and neurological diseases
Traumatic injury or disease of the spinal cord and brain elicits multiple cellular and biochemical reactions that together cause or are associated with neuropathology. Specifically, injury or disease elicits acute infiltration and activation of immune cells, death of neurons and glia, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the secretion of substrates that inhibit axon regeneration. In some diseases, in...
متن کاملTransport characteristics of a novel peptide platform for CNS therapeutics
New and effective therapeutics that cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are critically needed for treatment of many brain diseases. We characterize here a novel drug development platform that is broadly applicable for the development of new therapeutics with increased brain penetration. The platform is based on the Angiopep-2 peptide, a sequence derived from ligands that bind to low-density lip...
متن کاملGinseng Use in Medicine: Perspectives on CNS Disorders
Ginseng, the root of Panax species, is a well-known folk medicine. It has been used as traditional herbal medicine in China, Korea and Japan for thousands of years and today is a popular and worldwide used natural medicine. The active ingredients of ginseng are ginsenosides which are also called ginseng saponins. Recently, there is increasing evidence in the literature on the pharmacological an...
متن کاملFunctionalized CNTs for delivery of therapeutics
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are high aspect ratio allotropes of carbon. Because of their unique physical and chemical characteristics, they are nominated for a vast variety of applications in the biomedical field. Their very low solubility is the only problem of them which is solved by different methods of Functionalization. After discoveries in the last few years of the capacity of CNTs to penetra...
