hypericin and Alzheimer Disease

hypericin has been researched along with Alzheimer Disease in 2 studies

Alzheimer Disease: A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1049-57)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Pretreatment with hypericin (5 μM and 15 μM) significantly suppresses oligomeric Aβ42 (oAβ42)-induced expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and production of NO in microglia without cytotoxicity."5.43Hypericin inhibits oligomeric amyloid β42-induced inflammation response in microglia and ameliorates cognitive deficits in an amyloid β injection mouse model of Alzheimer's disease by suppressing MKL1. ( Li, P; Qian, F; Wang, Y; Xu, X; Zhang, M, 2016)
"Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are two of the most common diseases in elderly population and they have a high rate of comorbidity."1.91Hypericin as a potential drug for treating Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes with a view to drug repositioning.
