Download or read book Current Status of Natural Products Targeting Alzheimer s Disease written by Syed Shams ul Hassan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite more than fifty years of intensive research on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) drug discovery, up till now only four medicines are approved by FDA for its treatment; among which three are acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors (donepezil, galantamine, and rivastigmine) and one is N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist memantine. These medications were launched during the initial research for AD but were not able to provide satisfactory results because of their limited efficacy and numerous side effects. The high-profile failure of late-stage clinical trials by prominent pharma firms for biomolecules that showed promising results in experimental models has added to the dissatisfaction of drug development research for AD in recent years. The global dementia patient population was expected to be 50 million in 2017, with projections of 82 million and 152 million in 2030 and 2045, respectively. There is a significant flaw in our understanding of AD pathology, as well as in the experimental models we use to depict human pathology and our therapeutic methods. In light of this, this Research Topic is created to highlight the critical significance of natural products in therapeutic development for human diseases. The therapeutic potential of several natural products, including crude extracts and purified compounds, has been demonstrated in numerous experimental models, with pharmacological efficacy comparable to that of known medicines. This includes effects via specific biological targets (enzymes, receptors, ion channels, and so on) or a variety of mechanisms extending from basic antioxidants and anti-inflammatory mechanisms to neuroprotection and neuroregeneration pathways. Insights into AD therapy using natural products in the form of original research articles or reviews in all areas of AD pathology, experimental designs, and therapeutic approaches are encouraged. The main goal of this collection is to put light on the current status of natural products in AD. As natural products including many polyphenols or other agents are given in combination with marketed available AD drugs to increase their efficacy. So, all those research areas that cover the current status of natural products in single or in combination with other agents to improve the efficacy of AD/dementia will be focused on. • Natural products targeting AD (In-vitro, in-vivo, and in-silico); • Drug discovery for AD by targeting pathways; • Combination therapy to improve the efficacy of Anti-AD agents; • Polytherapy vs single chemical entity; • Experimental models of dementia; • Novel bioassays for cognitive disorders.

Download or read book Alzheimer s Aromatherapy and the Sense of Smell written by Jean-Pierre Willem and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Cites multiple clinical studies to show how Alzheimer’s is critically bound with the sense of smell and how the loss of this sense is often the first symptom of onset • Details how to use essential oils to stimulate memory, prevent cognitive loss, and counter the isolation, withdrawal, and depression of Alzheimer’s patients • Reveals the striking results seen in several French hospitals and senior living homes where aromatherapy has been used as a therapy for Alzheimer’s While there is still no known cure for Alzheimer’s, new research and trials from France reveal that it is possible to slow its progression, ameliorate some of its effects, and improve the quality of life for those suffering from this degenerative condition, using the sense of smell. Citing years of clinical evidence, Jean-Pierre Willem, M.D., shows how Alzheimer’s is critically bound with the sense of smell. He explains how the olfactory system is connected to the limbic area of the brain, which holds the keys to memory and emotion and is the area of the brain most severely afflicted by Alzheimer’s. He reveals how one of the very first signs of Alzheimer’s is typically the loss of the sense of smell. Sharing the striking results seen in French hospitals and senior living homes where aromatherapy has been used as a therapy for Alzheimer’s for more than 10 years, Dr. Willem details how to use essential oils to stimulate memory, prevent cognitive loss, and counter the isolation, withdrawal, and depression these patients are likely to feel. He explains how essential oils make a direct connection with the cerebral structures involved in emotion and memory and make it possible for the patient to bring deeply buried memories back to the thinking surface. This allows the patient to recover a portion of their identity, which can become the foundation for additional healing, including regaining the ability to communicate and reducing behavioral issues. Tracing the evolutionary links between smell and taste, he also explores the effects of diet and nutrition on Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, explaining the benefits of raw foods, what foods to avoid, and what supplements can help. Offering a hands-on and medication-free way to help those suffering from Alzheimer’s, this guide provides a way for Alzheimer’s patients and their families to recover the joy of living again.
