Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is a multifaceted neurodegenerative disease. Cholinergic dysfunction, amyloid β toxicity, tauopathies, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation are among the main pathologies of the disease. Ligands targeting more than one pathology, multi-target directed ligands, attract attention in the recent years to tackle Alzheimer's disease. In this review, we aimed to cover different biochemical pathways, that are revealed in recent years for the pathology of the disease, as druggable targets such as cannabinoid receptors, matrix metalloproteinases, histone deacetylase and various kinases including, glycogen synthase kinase-3, mitogen-activated protein kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and their ligands for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in the hope of providing more realistic insights into the field.
阿尔茨海默病是一种多发性神经退行性疾病。胆碱能功能障碍、淀粉样蛋白 β毒性、陶氏病、氧化应激、神经炎症是该病的主要病理变化。近年来,针对一种以上病理机制的配体,即多靶点定向配体,在应对阿尔茨海默病方面备受关注。在这篇综述中,我们旨在介绍近年来揭示的可作为药物靶点的不同生化途径,如大麻素受体、基质金属蛋白酶、组蛋白去乙酰化酶和各种激酶(包括糖原合酶激酶-3、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶和 c-Jun N 端激酶),以及它们用于治疗阿尔茨海默病的配体,希望为这一领域提供更现实的见解。
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is a forum for the review of areas of keen and topical interest to medicinal chemists and others in the allied disciplines. Each issue is solely devoted to a specific topic, containing six to nine reviews, which provide the reader a comprehensive survey of that area. A Guest Editor who is an expert in the topic under review, will assemble each issue. The scope of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry will cover all areas of medicinal chemistry, including current developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and structure-activity relationships. Medicinal chemistry is a rapidly maturing discipline. The study of how structure and function are related is absolutely essential to understanding the molecular basis of life. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry aims to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge and insight, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents to treat debilitating human disorders. The journal is essential for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important advances.
