Two β-secreatase (BACE1) inhibitors from natural products (cinnamic acid and flavone) were linked to furnish potent, cell permeable BACE1 inhibitors with noncompetitive mode of inhibition, with the assistance of saturated transfer difference (STD)-NMR technique. Some of these conjugates also exhibited selective BACE1 inhibition over other aspartyl proteases such as BACE-2 and renin, as well as poor cytotoxicity. Taken together, conjugates 4 represent a new series of BACE inhibitors warrants further investigation for their potential in Alzheimier's disease therapy.

Background/objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM), a widespread endocrine disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, can cause nerve damage and increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Effective blood glucose management is essential, and sitagliptin (SITG), a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 () inhibitor, may offer neuroprotective benefits in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: T2DM was induced in rats using nicotinamide (NICO) and streptozotocin (STZ), and biomarkers of AD and DM-linked enzymes, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis were evaluated in the brain.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is marked by cognitive decline, amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and cholinergic loss. Due to the limited success of amyloid-targeted therapies, attention has shifted to new non-amyloid targets like phosphodiesterases (PDE). This study investigates the potential of Flemingia vestita (FV) phytomolecules and derivatives, particularly 8-Prenyldaidzein, in AD treatment.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major neurodegenerative disorder that courses with chronic neuroinflammation. Pleiotrophin (PTN) is an endogenous inhibitor of Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (RPTP) β/ζ which is upregulated in different neuroinflammatory disorders of diverse origin, including AD. To investigate the role of RPTPβ/ζ in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, we used eight-to ten-month-old APP/PS1 AD mouse model.

A comprehensive computational strategy that combined QSAR modelling, molecular docking, and ADMET analysis was used to discover potential inhibitors for β-secretase 1 (BACE-1). A dataset of 1,138 compounds with established BACE-1 inhibitory activities was used to build a QSAR model using mol2vec descriptors and support vector regression. The obtained model demonstrated strong predictive performance (training set: = 0.

More than the sparse infiltration in glioblastoma, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) also function inefficiently and overexpress the inhibitory markers, especially the identified NK cell receptor (NK1.1). However, most studies solely focus on how to augment tumor-infiltrating CTLs and overlook their killing maintenance.
