Novel chelators based on adamantane-derived semicarbazones and hydrazones that target multiple hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease

This study introduces a series of adamantane-derived semicarbazones and hydrazones designed to address multiple pathological features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Among the synthesized compounds, 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (N-adamantan-1-yl)benzoyl-4-amidohydrazone (compound 10) emerged as a lead candidate, demonstrating potent iron-chelating properties, inhibition of copper(II)-induced β-amyloid aggregation, low cytotoxicity, and antioxidant activity. Additionally, compound 10

Neurogenesis and neuroprotection in postischemic brain neurodegeneration with Alzheimer phenotype: is there a role for curcumin?

This article reviews the role of curcumin in promoting neurogenesis and providing neuroprotection in the context of brain ischemia and Alzheimer’s disease. It highlights how curcumin may enhance neurogenesis in the hippocampus and prevent neurodegeneration by reducing β-amyloid aggregation, a key factor in Alzheimer’s pathology. Curcumin has shown promise in
