Neurodegenerative diseases pose major health challenges, prompting research into furan-containing compounds for their potential therapeutic effects.
These compounds show promise due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, factors crucial in neurodegeneration.
The review suggests that furan derivatives may enhance neuronal survival, regeneration, and synaptic function, emphasizing the need for further studies to explore their effectiveness against diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
