Dibenzoxepines as treatments for neurodegenerative diseases*
In recent years, apoptotic cell death has been implicated with different progressive neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Alzheimer's disease. The hypothesis emerged, that a drug preventing apoptosis may slow or even halt the disease progression. (±)-Deprenyl was reported to rescue neurons from cell death in different in ...
متن کاملAGE proteins as a causative factor in Alzheimer's Disease
The reaction between reducing sugars and protein free amines, known as the Maillar reaction results in the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). AGE modification changes the structure of proteins to amyloid cross-beta structure. These protein structures can activate receptors known as RAGE on glial cells (microglia and astrocytes), and induce the expression of inducible nitric oxi...

متن کاملThalidomide as a Teratogen
Before 1961, there was very little evidence for drug-induced malformations in humans. But in that year, Lenz and McBride independently accumulated evidence that a mild sedative, thalidomide, caused an enormous increase in a previously rare syndrome of congenital anomalies. The most noticeable of these anomalies was phocomelia, a condition in which the long bones of the limbs are absent (amelia)...
متن کاملGenus Boswellia as a new candidate for neurodegenerative disorders
Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by progressive loss of neurons, share common mechanisms such as apoptotic cell death, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Genus Boswellia is a genus in the Burseraceae family. It comprises several species traditionally used for treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, cerebral edema, chronic pain syndrome, gastrointestinal d...
