Oxidative stress is involved in the generation of many disorders, including epilepsy, which is a prevalent chronic neurological disease that affects the lives of millions of people around the world. Epilepsy is characterized by unforeseeable and repeated seizures that can be very disturbing. Studies have reported that oxidative stress occurs before and after seizures. A transcription factor named Nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) controls genes related to the induction of oxidative stress and defends cells against oxidative stress. The Nrf2 protein has seven different domains, ranging from Neh1 to Neh7. Each domain is responsible for a distinctive function of this protein. Keap1 binds to Nrf2, but during oxidative stress, Nrf2 detaches from the Keap1 protein, moves to the nucleus, and binds to DNA. The result of this translocation and binding is the initiation of transcription of detoxifying genes to control the harmful effects of oxidative stress. There is some evidence of oxidative stress involvement in epilepsy. In this review, we have listed potential Nrf2-related therapeutic targets for treating and controlling epilepsy, such as Berberis alkaloids, pentoxifylline, lovastatin, progesterone, and chrysin nanoparticles. These activators were tested in animals (in vivo) and cells (in vitro), and most of these experiments showed promising results in different epilepsy models. Finally, the results have suggested that the activation of Nrf2 can be an option for controlling epilepsy.</p>","PeriodicalId":10873,"journal":{"name":"Current molecular medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142343292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Icariin, the principal compound in Epimedium, has been studied for its antineuroinflammatory, anti-oxidative, and antiapoptotic properties. Recent scientific investigations have shown that icariin exhibits promising therapeutic and preventive properties for mental and neurodegenerative disorders. In preclinical, icariin has been shown to inhibit amyloid development and reduce the expression of APP and BACE-1. Previous preclinical studies have demonstrated that icariin can regulate proinflammatory responses in neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease, depression, cerebral ischemia, ALS, and multiple sclerosis. Studies have shown that icariin possesses neuroprotective properties by modulating signaling pathways and crossing the blood-brain barrier, suggesting its potential to address various neurocomplications. This review aims to establish a foundation for future clinical investigations by examining the existing literature on icariin and exploring its potential therapeutic implications in treating neurodegenerative disorders and neuropsychiatric conditions.
