With the constant failure of clinical trials continuous exploration a therapeutic target against Alzheimer's disease (AD) is utmost need. Numerous studies have supported hypothesis that central insulin resistance plays significant role in AD. Serine phosphorylation Insulin Receptor Substarte-1 (IRS-1) has been found to be contributing factor neuronal resistance. Astaxanthin (ASX) xanthophyll carotenoid which previously demonstrated antidiabetic and neuroprotective actions. In present study,...

Silymarin is a bioactive constituent isolated from milk thistle (Silybum marinum). Since its discovery, silymarin has been considered gold standard drug in treating ailments related to the liver, resulting alcohol consumption and viral hepatitis. This hepatoprotective nature of arises out antioxidative tissue-regenerating properties silymarin. However, several recent studies have established neuroprotective link silymarin, too. Thus, current investigation was aimed at exploring effect...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a significant challenge due to cognitive decline resulting from nerve cell degeneration. Shatavarin IV, prominent bioactive compound fromAsparagus racemosus and Piracetam, has been investigated for its neuroprotective potential. This study examines the molecular docking, formulation, characterization of nanoemulsion containing Piracetam IV treating AD. The in silico demonstrated that exhibited strong binding affinities with multiple AD-related targets,...
