Abstract
This study aimed to investigate in vivo and ex-vivo the effects of tacrine dimers (TD1, TD2, TD3 and TD4) in mice with Alzheimer's disease (AD) induced by amyloid peptide (Aβ42) and, respectively, evaluated in behavioral tests of cognition, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. All dimers reduced the cognitive deficit caused by Aβ42, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, especially the compound TD4. By ADMET analysis (SwissADME and pkCSM 2.10 platforms), TD4 exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic properties with the control drug. The results suggest a therapeutic potential for AD for these compounds, given their distinct cognitive and neuroprotective effects in AD models induced by Aβ42.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Academy of Sciences (BAS) publishes its journal, Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (AABC, in its Brazilianportuguese acronym ), every 3 months, being the oldest journal in Brazil with conkinuous distribukion, daking back to 1929. This scienkihic journal aims to publish the advances in scienkihic research from both Brazilian and foreigner scienkists, who work in the main research centers in the whole world, always looking for excellence.
Essenkially a mulkidisciplinary journal, the AABC cover, with both reviews and original researches, the diverse areas represented in the Academy, such as Biology, Physics, Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry, Agrarian Sciences, Engineering, Mathemakics, Social, Health and Earth Sciences.
