Abstract
Objectives
Current Parkinson's disease (PD) medications treat symptoms; none can slow down or arrest the disease progression. Disease-modifying therapies for PD remain an urgent unmet clinical need. This review was designed to summarize recent findings regarding to the efficacy of phytochemicals in the treatment of PD and their underlying mechanisms.
Methods
A literature search was performed using PubMed databases from inception until January 2024.
Results
We first review the role of oxidative stress in PD and phytochemical-based antioxidant therapy. We then summarize recent work on neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of PD, as well as preclinical data supporting anti-inflammatory efficacy in treating or preventing the disease. We last evaluate evidence for brain mitochondrial dysfunction in PD, together with the phytochemicals that protect mitochondrial function in preclinical model of PD. Furthermore, we discussed possible reasons for failures of preclinical-to-clinical translation for neuroprotective therapeutics.
Conclusions
There is now extensive evidence from preclinical studies that neuroprotective phytochemicals as promising candidate drugs for PD are needed to translate from the laboratory to the clinic.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition has an open access mirror journal Nutrition: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Founded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980''s, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead.
