The Neuroprotective Effect of Doxycycline on Neurodegenerative Diseases

This 2019 review investigates the neuroprotective properties of doxycycline in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases. Doxycycline acts via multiple pathways: it inhibits the aggregation of pathogenic proteins like amyloid-β and α-synuclein, suppresses neuroinflammation by attenuating microglial activation, and exhibits both antioxidant and anti-apoptotic
