Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, as well as the abnormal accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein. Clinically, PD is featured by typical motor symptoms and some non-motor symptoms. Up to now, although considerable progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of PD, there is still no effective therapeutic treatment for the disease. Thus, exploring new therapeutic strategies has been a topic that needs to be addressed urgently. Noteworthy, with the proposal of the microbiota-gut-brain axis theory, antimicrobial drugs have received significant attention due to their effects on regulating the intestinal microbiota. Nowadays, there is growing evidence showing that some antimicrobial drugs may be promising drugs for the treatment of PD. Data from pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that some antimicrobial drugs may play neuroprotective roles in PD by modulating multiple biochemical and molecular pathways, including reducing α-synuclein aggregation, inhibiting neuroinflammation, regulating mitochondrial structure and function, as well as suppressing oxidative stress. In this paper, we summarized the effects of some antimicrobial drugs on PD treatment from recent pre-clinical and clinical studies. Then, we further discussed the potential of a few antimicrobial drugs for treating PD based on molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Importantly, we highlighted the potential of clorobiocin as the therapeutic strategy for PD owing to its ability to inhibit α-synuclein aggregation. These results will help us to better understand the potential of antimicrobial drugs in treating PD and how antimicrobial drugs may alleviate or reverse the pathological symptoms of PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alpha-synucleinopathies are incurable neurodegenerative diseases. Abelson tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Abl TKIs) may be disease-modifying therapies. This systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression evaluated the use of Abl TKIs in their treatment. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for trials using Abl TKIs in patients with Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia published until July 2023. The outcome was the change in the MDS-UPDRS-III (Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III). DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled effect estimates. Leave-one-out forest plots were used for the sensitivity analysis, and meta-regression (restricted maximum likelihood) was performed. RESULTS Five studies (197 patients) were included. Nilotinib 300 mg had an effect size of -1.154 (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.000 to 0.692). Nilotinib 150 mg and bosutinib 100 mg versus placebo yielded 0.82 (95% CI, -3.76 to 5.41). Sensitivity analysis showed that 1 trial changed the significance of the nilotinib 300 mg single-arm analysis (MD = -1.723; 95% CI, -2.178 to -1.268). Meta-regression revealed that lower age (EC = -0.9103, SE = 0.2286, P < 0.0001) and higher baseline MDS-UPDRS-III scores (EC = 0.1210, SE = 0.0168, P < 0.0001) could explain the inefficacy of nilotinib 300 mg. CONCLUSIONS Nilotinib (300 mg) proved effective postsensitivity analysis, unlike lower doses and bosutinib in Parkinson's disease/Lewy body dementia. Abl TKIs showed reduced efficacy in younger, more impaired patients, indicating the need for further testing with higher-potency drugs in patients who have diseases that are in the early stage but with a later onset.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) stands as a challenging neurodegenerative condition characterized by the emergence of Lewy Bodies (LBs), intracellular inclusions within dopaminergic neurons. These LBs harbor various proteins, prominently including α-Synuclein (Syn) aggregates, implicated in disease pathology. A promising avenue in PD treatment involves targeting Syn aggregation. Recent findings from our research have shown that 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol (DOPET) possess the ability to impede the formation of Syn fibrils by disrupting the aggregation process. Notably, these compounds primarily engage in noncovalent interactions with the protein, leading to the formation of off-pathway oligomers that deter fibril growth. Through proteolysis studies and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, we have identified potential covalent modifications of Syn in the presence of DOPAC, although the exact site remains elusive. Employing molecular dynamics simulations, we delved into how DOPAC-induced covalent alterations might affect the mechanism of Syn aggregation. Our findings indicate that the addition of a covalent adduct on certain residues enhances fibril flexibility without compromising its secondary structure stability. Furthermore, in the monomeric state, the modified residue fosters novel bonding interactions, thereby influencing long-range interactions between the N- and C-termini of the protein.

Abstract
Alpha synuclein (αS) aggregates are the main component of Lewy bodies (LBs) associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). A longstanding question about αS and PD pertains to the autosomal dominant E46K αS mutant, which leads to the early onset of PD and LB dementias. The E46K mutation not only promotes αS aggregation but also stabilizes αS monomers in "closed" conformers, which are compact and aggregation-incompetent. Hence, the mechanism of action of the E46K mutation is currently unclear. Here, we show that αS monomers harboring the E46K mutation exhibit more extensive interactions with fibrils compared to those of WT. Such monomer-fibril interactions are sufficient to allosterically drive transitions of αS monomers from closed to open conformations, enabling αS aggregation. We also show that E46K promotes head-to-tail monomer-monomer interactions in early self-association events. This multipronged mechanism provides a new framework to explain how the E46K mutation and possibly other αS variants trigger early-onset PD.

Abstract
Stress is one of the most serious consequences of life leading to several chronic diseases and neurodegeneration. Recent studies show that emotional stress and other kinds of anxiety and depression adversely affects Parkinson's disease symptoms. However, the details of how stress affects Parkinson's disease is still not well known. Traumatic brain injury, stroke, diabetes, post-traumatic stress disorders are well known to modify the disease precipitation, progression and persistence. However, show stress could influence Parkinson's disease is still not well known. The present investigation we examine the role of immobilization stress influencing Parkinson's disease brain pathology in model experiments. In ore previous report we found that mild traumatic brain injury exacerbate Parkinson's disease brain pathology and nanodelivery of dl-3-n-butylphthalide either alone or together with mesenchymal stem cells significantly attenuated Parkinson's disease brain pathology. In this chapter we discuss the role of stress in exacerbating Parkinson's disease pathology and nanowired delivery of dl-3-n-butylphthalide together with monoclonal antibodies to alpha synuclein (ASNC) is able to induce significant neuroprotection. The possible mechanisms of dl-3-n-butylphthalide and ASNC induced neuroprotection and suitable clinical therapeutic strategy is discussed.

Abstract
Ducrosia flabellifolia Boiss. is a rare desert plant known to be a promising source of bioactive compounds. In this paper, we report for the first time the phytochemical composition and biological activities of D. flabellifolia hydroalcoholic extract by using liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) technique. The results obtained showed the richness of the tested extract in phenols, tannins, and flavonoids. Twenty-three phytoconstituents were identified, represented mainly by chlorogenic acid, followed by ferulic acid, caffeic acid, and sinapic acid. The tested hydroalcoholic extract was able to inhibit the growth of all tested bacteria and yeast on agar Petri dishes at 3 mg/disc with mean growth inhibition zone ranging from 8.00 ± 0.00 mm for Enterococcus cloacae (E. cloacae) to 36.33 ± 0.58 mm for Staphylococcus epidermidis. Minimal inhibitory concentration ranged from 12.5 mg/mL to 200 mg/mL and the hydroalcoholic extract from D. flabellifolia exhibited a bacteriostatic and fungistatic character. In addition, D. flabellifolia hydroalcoholic extract possessed a good ability to scavenge different free radicals as compared to standard molecules. Molecular docking studies on the identified phyto-compounds in bacterial, fungal, and human peroxiredoxin 5 receptors were performed to corroborate the in vitro results, which revealed good binding profiles on the examined protein targets. A standard atomistic 100 ns dynamic simulation investigation was used to further evaluate the interaction stability of the promising phytocompounds, and the results showed conformational stability in the binding cavity. The obtained results highlighted the medicinal use of D. flabellifolia as source of bioactive compounds, as antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal agent.

Abstract
Microorganisms from extreme environments are considered as a new and valuable reservoir of bioactive molecules of biotechnological interest and are also utilized as tools for enhancing tolerance to (a)biotic stresses in crops. In this study, the fungal endophytic community associated with the leaves of the Antarctic angiosperm Colobanthus quitensis was investigated as a new source of bioactive molecules. We isolated 132 fungal strains and taxonomically annotated 26 representative isolates, which mainly belonged to the Basidiomycota division. Selected isolates of Trametes sp., Lenzites sp., Sistotrema sp., and Peniophora sp. displayed broad extracellular enzymatic profiles; fungal extracts from some of them showed dose-dependent antitumor activity and inhibited the formation of amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein and its pathological mutant E46K. Selected fungal isolates were also able to promote secondary root development and fresh weight increase in Arabidopsis and tomato and antagonize the growth of pathogenic fungi harmful to crops. This study emphasizes the ecological and biotechnological relevance of fungi from the Antarctic ecosystem and provides clues to the bioprospecting of Antarctic Basidiomycetes fungi for industrial, agricultural, and medical applications.
