Published: December 1990

It is shown that an inhibited enzyme electrode, using cytochrome oxidase, will respond to H2S, HCN and azide ion. For all three inhibitors the kinetics of the inhibiton and recovery processes have been analysed using the theoretical model presented previously (Albery et al., 1990a). Rearrangement of the differential equation describing inhibition and the development of the necessary software has enabled us to obtain values of the concentration of inhibitor in a matter of seconds after exposure of the sensor. The sensor will measure concentrations of H2S down to 1 ppm in the gas phase and concentrations of HCN and azide ion down to 0.4 mumol dm-3 in the solution phase.

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.

Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab, India.

Background: Several studies have shown the influential role of nutraceuticals on cognition and mental functions. Dihydroxytrimethoxyflavone, a natural flavone found in herbal drugs, is documented to be neuroprotective in different model systems. Nevertheless, possible memory improvement effects of dihydroxytrimethoxyflavone via nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) (a crucial regulator of antioxidative system) has not been systematically evaluated.

Background: The present study recapitulates the potency of the novel synthesized piperazine-benzoquinone derivative as a lead molecule selectively targeting AChE along with the antioxidative potential for the management of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease.

Method: Novel piperazine-benzoquinone derivative was synthesized implementing appropriate synthetic procedures and was characterized by various spectral and elemental techniques. The purity of this synthetic analogue was ascertained by TLC, melting point determination and elemental analyses.

Background: SHIP1 is a phosphatidyl inositol phosphatase encoded by INPP5D, which has been identified as a risk gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD). SHIP1 is expressed in microglia, the resident macrophage in brain. It is a complex, multidomain protein that acts as a negative regulator downstream from TREM2.
