Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, milyonlarca insanı etkileyen Alzheimer hastalığı (AD) ve iNOS inhibitörlerinin rolünü araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. AD'nin temel belirtileri arasında hafıza kaybı, bilişsel gerileme ve davranış değişiklikleri bulunmaktadır. Kesin neden belirsiz olsa da, genetik ve çevresel faktörlerin katkıda bulunduğu düşünülmektedir. Son araştırmalar, nitrik oksit (NO)'nin AD gelişimindeki önemini vurgulamıştır. Özellikle, AD hastalarında induklenebilir nitrik oksit sentaz (iNOS) aktivasyonu, nöronal iltihaplanma sırasında aşırı NO üretimine neden olarak AD ve bunamayı kötüleştirmektedir. Bu nedenle, bu araştırma, iNOS inhibitörlerinin AD tedavisinde yeni bir terapötik yaklaşım olarak potansiyelini incelemektedir.
Sonuç ve Tartışma: Bu derleme, Alzheimer hastalığı (AD) için mevcut terapötik stratejileri sunuyor ve AD tedavisinde iNOS inhibitörlerinin umut verici potansiyelini araştırıyoruz. Özellikle, iNOS inhibitörlerinin NO üretimini azaltma kapasitelerine odaklanacak ve potansiyel nörokoruyucu etkilerini inceleyeceğiz. Ayrıca, bu derleme doğal ve sentetik iNOS inhibitörlerinin genel bir bakışını sunacak ve AD için terapötik müdahaleler olarak iNOS inhibitörlerinin geliştirilmesi sürecinde güvenlik değerlendirmelerinin önemini vurgulayacaktır.

THE PROMISING ROLE OF iNOS INHIBITORS IN ALZHEIMERS DISEASE

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore the role of iNOS inhibitors in Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions worldwide. The main symptoms of AD include memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. While the exact cause remains uncertain, both genetic and environmental factors are believed to contribute. Recent research has emphasized the significance of nitric oxide (NO) in AD development. Specifically, the upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in AD patients leads to excessive NO production during neuronal inflammation, exacerbating AD and dementia. Therefore, the investigation focuses on the potential of iNOS inhibitors as a novel therapeutic approach for AD treatment.
Result and Discussion: In this review, we present the current therapeutic strategies available for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and explore the promising potential of iNOS inhibitors in AD treatment. Specifically, we will focus on their capacity to mitigate NO production and examine their potential neuroprotective effects. Additionally, this review will offer an overview of both natural and synthetic iNOS inhibitors, emphasizing the importance of safety considerations during the development of iNOS inhibitors as therapeutic interventions for AD.
