ABSTRACT
Neurodegeneration is a progressive loss of neurons both structurally and functionally causing neuronal cell death ultimately leading to development of various neurodegenerative diseases. Due to poor pharmacokinetic profile of neurotrophins, there still remains a challenge in their neurotrophic therapy where plants, bacteria and fungi, as natural products, could act as promising candidates against various neurological disorders by modulating the neurotrophic activity. Therefore, these natural products that mimic neurotrophins, could develop novel therapeutic approaches to herbal drug that can ameliorate neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other associated neurological disorders. Taking into account the failure of strategies involving single neurotrophins for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, we propose a combination of small molecules of natural products that may work synergistically to restore neuronal functions, minimize side effects and target multiple pathways for a more effective treatment.
RESUMEN
La neurodegeneración es una pérdida progresiva de neuronas, tanto estructural como funcional, que causa la muerte neuronal, lo que conduce al desarrollo de diversas enfermedades neurodegenerativas. Debido al pobre perfil farmacocinético de las neurotrofinas, existe un desafío en su terapia neurotrófica donde plantas, bacterias y hongos, como productos naturales, podrían actuar como candidatos contra diversos trastornos neurológicos al modular la actividad neurotrófica. Estos productos naturales que asemejan a las neurotrofinas podrían desarrollar enfoques terapéuticos novedosos como medicamentos a base de hierbas que pueden mejorar enfermedades neurodegenerativas como Parkinson, Alzheimer y otros trastornos neurológicos asociados. Teniendo en cuenta el fracaso de las estrategias terapéuticas de neurotrofinas para las enfermedades neurodegenerativas, proponemos una combinación de pequeñas moléculas de productos naturales que pueden funcionar sinérgicamente para restaurar las funciones neuronales, minimizar los efectos secundarios y apuntar a múltiples vías para un tratamiento más efectivo.
