Polyphenols, found in plant-based foods, show promise in inhibiting fibril formation and disrupting disease progression. The ability of polyphenols to break the amyloid fibrils of many disease-linked proteins has been tested in numerous studies. Polyphenols have their distinctive mechanism of action. They behave differently on various events in the aggregation pathway. Their action also differs for different proteins. Some polyphenols only inhibit the formation of fibrils whereas others break the preformed fibrils. Some break the fibrils into smaller species, and some change them to other morphologies. This article delves into the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of polyphenols on fibrillogenesis, shedding light on their interactions with amyloidogenic proteins and the disruption of fibril assembly pathways. However, addressing the challenges associated with solubility, stability, and bioavailability of polyphenols is crucial. The current strategies involve nanotechnology to improve the solubility and bioavailability, thus showing the potential to enhance the efficacy of polyphenols as therapeutics. Advancements in structural biology, computational modeling, and biophysics have provided insights into polyphenol-fibril interactions, offering hope for novel therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and amyloidosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141247671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
