Synthesis and characterization of new hexahydroquinoline derivatives and evaluation of their cytotoxicity, intracellular ROS production, and inhibitory effects on inflammatory mediators.

Inflammation is a response to injury and infection in an organism. It can be categorized as acute or chronic. Chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of many diseases such as Alzheimer disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases.

The ameliorative potential of metformin against aluminum-induced neurotoxicity: Insights from in vitro studies.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly recognized as a metabolic disorder, often referred to as type 3 diabetes, due to its strong association with insulin resistance. Chronic exposure to aluminum, a known neurotoxin, has been identified as a significant risk factor in the development and progression of AD. This study explores the potential of metformin, a common anti-diabetic drug, to mitigate aluminum-induced neurotoxicity in an in vitro model of AD.

Walnut oil: a promising nutraceutical in reducing oxidative stress and improving cholinergic activity in an Alzheimer's disease model.

Improving the quality of life in elderly patients and finding new treatment options for neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's has become one of the priorities in the scientific world. In recent years, the beneficial effects and therapeutic properties of natural foods on neurological health have become a very remarkable issue. Walnut oil (WO) is a promising nutraceutical, with many phytochemicals and polyunsaturated fatty acids and is thought to be promising in the treatment of many neurological diseases and cognitive deficits, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Effects of idebenone and coenzyme Q10 on NLRP3/caspase-1/IL-1β pathway regulation on ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

Chronic and excessive alcohol consumption leads to liver toxicity. There is a need to investigate effective therapeutic strategies to alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury, which remains the leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore here, we looked into and evaluated how ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity was affected by coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and its analog, idebenone (IDE), on the NLRP3/caspase-1/IL-1 pathway.

Unraveling the neuroprotective mechanisms of naltrexone against aluminum-induced neurotoxicity.

Aluminum (Al) is a known neurotoxic trace element linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, has shown promising effects in reducing neuroinflammation at lower doses than those prescribed for addiction. This study aimed to determine the neuroprotective effects of naltrexone on Al-induced neurotoxicity in an AD model.
