This study evaluated the effect of glimepiride (GMP), a third generation sulphonylurea, on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD in mice. Sixty mice were divided randomly into six individual groups of 10 mice each and dose orally as follows: group 1: vehicle (10 ml/kg, p.o.); group 2: MPTP (20 mg/kg, i.p. × 4 at 2-h interval); groups 3-5: GMP (1, 2, or 4 mg/kg, p.o.) + MPTP (20 mg/kg, i.p. × 4 at 2-h interval); and group 6: GMP (4 mg/kg, p.o.). Effect of glimepiride on motor activities were appraised with the use of open-field test and rotarod performance while non-motor activity was evaluated using force swim test (FST; depression) and Y-maze test (working memory). MPTP induced significant decrease in latency to fall on rotarod, distance covered/rearing in open field, mean speed and climbing in FST, and percentage alternation behavior in Y-maze suggestive of motor and non-motor dysfunction. However, MPTP-induced motor and non-motor dysfunction were ameliorated with glimepiride post-treatment. In addition, MPTP-induced increase in oxidative stress parameters and cholinergic neurotransmission was attenuated by glimepiride. In addition, MPTP-induced nigral dopamine neuron loss (decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neuron (TH)) and neuroinflammation (activation of glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (iba-1)) were ameliorated by GMP administration. This study showed that glimepiride ameliorates MPTP-induced PD motor and non-motor deficits through enhancement of antioxidant defense signaling and attenuation of neuroinflammatory markers.

Morphometric analyses showed that inhibition of PAK1 activity with FRAX486 increased the average length of the neurites, the number of crossings per Sholl ring, the formation of new processes, and stimulated the loss of processes.

Rutin, a natural botanical ingredient, has been shown to have antioxidant properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of rutin on PD and the underlying mechanisms. MPP⁺(1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ions)-treated SH-SY5Y cells were used as an in vitro model of PD. Human PHB2-shRNA lentiviral particles were transfected into SH-SY5Y cells to interfere with the expression of Prohibitin2 (PHB2). The oxidative damage of cells was analyzed by detecting intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of antioxidant factors such as nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NADPH quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1), and mitophagy factors PHB2, translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20), and LC3II/LC3I (microtubule-associated protein II light chain 3 (LC3II) to microtubule-associated protein I light chain 3 (LC3I)). In addition, we also examined the expression of PHB2 and LC3II/LC3I by immunofluorescence staining. MPP⁺ treatment significantly increased the generation of ROS and MDA and the level of MMP depolarization and decreased the protein expression of Nrf2, HO-1, NQO1, TOM20, PHB2, and LC3II/LC3I. In MPP⁺-treated SH-SY5Y cells, rutin significantly decreased the generation of ROS and MDA and the level of MMP depolarization and increased the protein expression of Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, TOM20, PHB2, and LC3II/LC3I. However, the protective role of rutin was inhibited in PHB2-silenced cells. Rutin attenuates oxidative damage which may be associated with PHB2-mediated mitophagy in MPP⁺-induced SH-SY5Y cells.

However, the use of study models more similar to the pathophysiology of PD is required for advances in early diagnosis and translational pharmacology. Aminochrome (AMI), a compound derived from dopamine oxidation and a precursor of neuromelanin, is able to induce all the mechanisms associated with neurodegeneration.

In search of novel neuroprotectants, we showed that butyrate (BUT), a short-chain fatty acid, protects against salsolinol (SALS)-induced toxicity in human neuroblastoma-derived SH-SY5Y cells, which are considered an in-vitro model of PD. Dihydromyricetin (DHM), a flavonoid derived from Asian medicinal plant, has also shown effectiveness against oxidative damage and neuroinflammation, hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. Here we show that pretreatment of SH-SY5Y cells with DHM concentration-dependently prevented SALS-induced toxicity and that a combination of DHM and BUT resulted in a synergistic protection. The effects of both DHM and BUT in turn could be completely blocked by flumazenil (FLU), a GABA_A antagonist acting at benzodiazepine receptor site, and by bicuculline (BIC), a GABA_A antagonist acting at orthosteric site. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), a free fatty acid 3 (FA3) receptor antagonist, also fully blocked the protective effect of DHM. BHB was shown previously to only partially block the protective effect of BUT.
