A new "phase-switching" protecting group 1 that facilitates the parallel synthesis of carboxylic acids, esters, and carboxamides is described. Its use permits chemistries to be performed in solution, which may be conveniently monitored with conventional analytical techniques, followed by subsequent immobilization onto a solid-phase support to aid compound purification. Carboxylic acids, esters, and carboxamides are then cleaved from the solid support following activation of the "safety-catch" and treatment with the desired nucleophile.

Alzheimers Dement

Background: The vicious cycle between depression and dementia increases the risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathogenesis and pathology. This study investigates therapeutic effectiveness versus side effects and the underlying mechanisms of intranasal dantrolene nanoparticles (IDNs) to treat depression behavior and memory loss in 5XFAD mice.
Method: 5XFAD and wild-type B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with IDNs (IDN, 5 mg/kg) in Ryanodex formulation for a duration of 12 weeks.

Background: Cognitive impairment, a common aging-related pathology, is a risk factor for dementia. Echinacoside (ECH), derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Cistanche deserticola, shows anti-aging properties including anti-inflammation, oxidative stress reduction, and neuronal protection. Despite its benefits, the beneficial impact of ECH on age-related cognitive decline remains unclear.

Background: Major contributors to AD pathogenesis include aggregates of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, hyperphosphorylated tau protein, and neuroinflammation. No currently approved treatment stops or significantly slows the progression of AD. Nevertheless, one class of agents that has shown promise is metal chelators.

Background: LatAm-FINGERS - the first non-pharmacological multicenter randomized clinical trial in Latin America - is a valuable opportunity to study lifestyle in a heterogeneous and multiethnic population exposed to a large number of cardiovascular risk factors. Our aims are to study the risk distribution in the LatAm-FINGERS cohort and to explore the relationship between LIfestyle for BRAin Health (LIBRA) and cognition.
Method: We calculated the risk of dementia using the LIBRA score in the entire cohort (n = 1200).

December 2024
Aga Khan University, Nairobi, Kenya.
Background: Population growth and an increase in the number of Africans who survive to old age puts them at a higher risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's. Little research has been conducted on community knowledge and perceptions of dementia in rural settings in Kenya.
Method: Community health volunteers, healthcare workers (HCWs), chiefs and assistant chiefs (n = 35) participated in five focus group discussions, each comprising seven- eight people.
