Research Progress for Relative Treatment Targets in Alzheimer’s Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alzheimer’s disease is neurodegenerative disease mainly characterized by cognitive impairment. Neuron and synapse loss together with neurotransmitter dysfunction have, along with Abdeposition and neurofibrillary tangles, been recognized as hallmarks of AD. However, there is still no a curative treatment for this devastating disease due to complexity of the pathophysiology of the disease. This article reviews relative treatment targets in Alzheimer’s disease from the aspects of main neurotransmitter and receptors in the central nervous system.

Herbal Medicine in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Treatment strategies for AD will have to include a variety of interventions directed at multiple targets. So far, the outcomes with available approved medications for AD are often unsatisfactory, and there is a place for alternative medicine, in particular herbal medicine. Herbal medicines are being used by about 80% of the world population primarily in the developing countries for primary heal...
متن کاملMultitarget Drug Design, Molecular Docking and PLIF Studies of Novel Tacrine−Coumarin Hybrids for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as a complicated and progressive neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia and memory loss. On account of the multifactorial etiology of AD, the multi-target-directed ligand (MTDL) approach is a promising method in searching new drug candidates for this disease. Here, in this paper more than 500 tacrine-coumarin hybrids have been designed and drug-l...

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by abnormal protein accumulation, synaptic dysfunction, and cognitive impairment. Peroxisome proliferator-activated gamma receptors (PPARγ) play a crucial role in regulating insulin sensitivity and may serve as potential therapeutic targets for AD. Pioglitazone (Piog) as a PPARγ agonist reduce β-amyloid ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by the aggregation of two proteins, amyloid-b and hyper phosphorylated tau, and by neuronal and synaptic loss. The progress of gene-modified cells and stem cells is a particularly promising therapeutic method for AD. Gene-Modified Cell-Based Therapy for AD prior to transplantation can be beneficial for increasin...
