Clinical findings indicate that oxidative stress and neurotoxicity caused by amyloid β (Aβ) play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Among a wide range of medicinal compounds studied for the treatment and prevention of neurological diseases, Nobiletin (NOB)has been the focus of researchers. NOB is a bioflavonoid isolated from citrus peel that has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-dementia properties and the ability to improve intracellular and extracellular antibodies. In this study, the neuroprotective effects of NOB against Aβ-induced neurotoxicity discovered in the last decade were discussed.

Currently approved treatments, including bortezomib treatment, have adverse effects that ultimately lead to the development of resistance. Inadequate vitamin D (VD) levels are frequently observed in patients with MM, and its supplementation has anti-proliferative effects on different MM phenotypes. However, the risk of hypercalcemia restricts the application of VD in cancer therapy; therefore, we analyzed truncated VD analogs with anticancer effects but no calcemic activity. We previously identified a derivative of the C/D ring fragment of vitamin D2 (VD2) against cervical cancer, lung cancer, and MM. Herein, we conducted a structure–activity relationship study by introducing more derivatives and testing them against different MM cells, including bortezomib-sensitive and bortezomib-resistant phenotypes.

These target compounds were designed through structure simplification and ester bond flipping. The lipid-lowering activity of these target compounds was preliminarily evaluated in a hyperlipidemic mouse model induced by Triton WR 1339. The results showed that piperonylic acid -6-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenoxy) hexyl ester (T5) possesses notable lipid-lowering properties, reducing triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels. The dose-dependent study revealed that compound T5 decreased TG and TC more strongly with the increase of dose. It was observed that T5 had considerable effects on decreasing TG, TC and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in hyperlipidemic mice induced by high fat diet (HFD). Meanwhile, T5 was found to have hepatoprotective activity, with the liver aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) significantly decreasing and histopathological observation showing that it inhibited lipids accumulation in the liver and alleviated liver injury. T5 has been shown to stimulate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) and suppress hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase in the liver in connection to lipid metabolism. The molecular docking study also revealed that T5 has a high affinity for the active sites of PPAR-α and HMG-CoA reductase. Furthermore, other beneficial activities, including antioxidation and anti-inflammation, were also noted.
