Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) poses a substantial global health burden, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies. This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of a chrysin-loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC) drug delivery system in AD management. Employing the high-pressure homogenization method, chrysin-loaded NLCs were meticulously formulated to optimize drug delivery efficiency.

Numerous drugs (including disease-modifying therapies, cognitive enhancers and neuropsychiatric treatments) are being developed for Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD). Emerging neuroimaging modalities, and genetic and other biomarkers potentially enhance diagnostic and prognostic accuracy. These advances need to be assessed in real-world studies (RWS).

Background: Despite increasing knowledge of the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases, translation of these benefits into therapeutic advances for Alzheimer's Disease and related diseases (ADRD) has been slow. Drug repurposing is a promising strategy for identifying new uses for approved drugs beyond their initial indications. We developed a high-throughput drug screening platform aimed at identifying drugs capable of reducing proteotoxicity in vivo (Aß toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans) AND inhibiting microglial inflammation (TNF-alpha IL-6), both implicated in driving AD(figure attached with sample of results in C.

Background: Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) associated with amyloid precursor protein (APP) duplications or presenilin (PSEN) variants increases risk of seizures. Targeting epileptiform activity with antiseizure medicine (ASM) administration to AD patients may beneficially attenuate cognitive decline (Vossel et al, JAMA Neurology 2021). However, whether mechanistically distinct ASMs differentially suppress seizures in discrete EOAD models is understudied (Lehmann et al, Neurochem Res 2021).

Background: There are no cures for Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by elevation of beta-amyloid and tau proteins besides neuronal death and causing cognitive impairment. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a cyclic guanosine monophosphate-degrading enzyme involved in numerous biological pathways including those relevant to memory formation. PDE5 inhibition offers the potential to attenuate AD progression by acting at the downstream level of beta-amyloid and tau elevation.
