Dual roles of tannins as polyphenols and metal complexing agents in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease: Exploring the potential of dietary interventions
Background
Tannins are polyphenolic compounds characterized by multiple hydroxyl groups. Two key properties of tannins are their ability to interact with proteins and complex with metal ions. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. Key etiological factors of AD include protein deposition (senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles) and metal ion dyshomeostasis. This aligns with the properties of tannins.
Scope and approach
This review examines the beneficial effects of hydrolysable and condensed tannins on AD based on their strong association with proteins and metals. It explores the primary causes of AD and the neurotoxic effects of metal ions. The review also systematically analyzes how tannins eliminate factors that contribute to AD and evaluates the potential of dietary therapy involving tannin intake to alleviate AD.
Key findings and conclusions
This review suggests that alleviating AD symptoms through tannins is a promising strategy. Tannins can bind proteins and exert antioxidant effects in the brain through their hydroxyl groups. Additionally, they can act as powerful metal complexing agents, resisting metal ion dyshomeostasis in the brain. Tannins' dual role as polyphenols and metal complexing agents endows them with significant anti-AD potential. Tannins exert their primary effects by inhibiting the aggregation of Aβ and P-tau, complexing metal ions to reduce toxicity, alleviating oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, modulating brain enzyme activity, and regulating related pathways. This review enhances the understanding of the role of natural products in treating AD and supports the strategy of alleviating AD through a tannin-based diet.
