They are characterized by the presence of three isoprene units, resulting in a molecular formula that typically contains 15 carbon atoms (C₁₅H₂₄). Nerolidol and farnesol are both sesquiterpene alcohols present in the essential oils of numerous plants. They have drawn attention due to their potential neuroprotective properties. Nerolidol and farnesol are structural isomers, specifically geometric isomers, haring the same molecular formula (C₁₅H₂₄O) but differing in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. This variation in structure may contribute to their distinct biological activities. Scientific evidence suggests that nerolidol and farnesol exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics which are crucial for neuroprotection. Nerolidol has been specifically noted for its ability to alleviate conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, encephalomyelitis, depression, and anxiety by modulating inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways. Moreover, research indicates that both nerolidol and farnesol may modulate the Nrf-2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling pathway to mitigate oxidative stress-induced neurological damage. Activation of Nrf-2/HO-1 signaling cascade promotes cell survival and enhances the brain's ability to resist various insults. Nerolidol has also been reported to alleviate neuroinflammation by inhibiting the TLR-4/NF-κB and COX-2/NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway. Besides, this nerolidol also modulates BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway to improve neuronal health. To date, limited research has delved into the anti-inflammatory properties of farnesol concerning neurodegenerative diseases. Further investigation is warranted to comprehensively elucidate the mechanisms underlying its action and potential therapeutic uses in neuroprotection. Initial observations indicate that farnesol exhibits promising prospects as a natural agent for safeguarding brain functions. Henceforth, drawing upon existing literature elucidating the neuroprotective attributes of nerolidol and farnesol, the current review endeavors to provide a detailed analysis of their mechanistic underpinnings in neuroprotection.</p>","PeriodicalId":19947,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"31-42"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142472210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, it curbs melanin production, thereby potentially ameliorating hyperpigmentation. The presence of melatonin receptors in diverse skin cell types and its documented ability to enhance skin tone, hydration, and texture upon topical administration underscores its promise as an anti-aging agent. Melatonin's protective effects likely emanate from its multifaceted characteristics, encompassing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory functions, as well as its influence on collagen synthesis and mitochondrial activity. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress initiate a detrimental feedback loop. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), notorious for damaging cellular structures, provoke immune responses by oxidizing vital molecules and activating signaling proteins. This triggers heightened expression of inflammatory genes, perpetuating the cycle. Such dysregulation significantly compromises the body's resilience against infections and other health adversities.

Recent research has highlighted gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a promising therapeutic target for T1D due to its dual role in modulating both β cell survival and immune response within pancreatic islets. GABA signaling supports β cell regeneration, inhibits α cell hyperactivity, and promotes α-to-β cell transdifferentiation, contributing to improved islet function. Moreover, GABA's influence extends to mitigating T1D complications, including nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy, as well as regulating central nervous system pathways involved in glucose metabolism. This review consolidates the latest advances in GABA-related T1D therapies, covering animal preclinical and human clinical studies and examining the therapeutic potential of GABA receptor modulation, combination therapies, and dietary interventions.
