Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are two of the most common age-related diseases. There is accumulating evidence of an overlap in the pathophysiological mechanisms of these two diseases. Studies have demonstrated insulin pathway alternation may interact with amyloid-β protein deposition and tau protein phosphorylation, two essential factors in AD. So attention to the use of anti-diabetic drugs in AD treatment has increased in recent years. In vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies have evaluated possible neuroprotective effects of anti-diabetic different medicines in AD, with some promising results. Here we review the evidence on the therapeutic potential of insulin, metformin, Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1R), thiazolidinediones (TZDs), Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP IV) Inhibitors, Sulfonylureas, Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors, Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and Amylin analog against AD. Given that many questions remain unanswered, further studies are required to confirm the positive effects of anti-diabetic drugs in AD treatment. So to date, no particular anti-diabetic drugs can be recommended to treat AD.

Abstract
Insulin resistance as a hallmark of type 2 DM (T2DM) plays a role in dementia by promoting pathological lesions or enhancing the vulnerability of the brain. Numerous studies related to insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling are linked with various types of dementia. Brain insulin resistance in dementia is linked to disturbances in Aβ production and clearance, Tau hyperphosphorylation, microglial activation causing increased neuroinflammation, and the breakdown of tight junctions in the blood-brain barrier (BBB). These mechanisms have been studied primarily in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but research on other forms of dementia like vascular dementia (VaD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has also explored overlapping mechanisms. Researchers are currently trying to repurpose anti-diabetic drugs to treat dementia, which are dominated by insulin sensitizers and insulin substrates. Although it seems promising and feasible, none of the trials have succeeded in ameliorating cognitive decline in late-onset dementia. We highlight the possibility of repositioning anti-diabetic drugs as a strategy for dementia therapy by reflecting on current and previous clinical trials. We also describe the molecular perspectives of various types of dementia through the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Growing evidence suggest that there is a connection between Parkinson's disease (PD) and insulin dysregulation in the brain, whilst the connection between PD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is still up for debate. Insulin is widely recognised to play a crucial role in neuronal survival and brain function; any changes in insulin metabolism and signalling in the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to the development of various brain disorders. There is accumulating evidence linking T2DM to PD and other neurodegenerative diseases. In fact, they have a lot in common patho-physiologically, including insulin dysregulation, oxidative stress resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction, microglial activation, and inflammation. As a result, initial research should focus on the role of insulin and its molecular mechanism in order to develop therapeutic outcomes. In this current review, we will look into the link between T2DM and PD, the function of insulin in the brain, and studies related to impact of insulin in causing T2DM and PD. Further, we have also highlighted the role of various insulin signalling pathway in both T2DM and PD. We have also suggested that T2DM-targeting pharmacological strategies as potential therapeutic approach for individuals with cognitive impairment, and we have demonstrated the effectiveness of T2DM-prescribed drugs through current PD treatment trials. In conclusion, this investigation would fill a research gap in T2DM-associated Parkinson's disease (PD) with a potential therapy option.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels), a group of vital channels that link the electrical activity of the cell membrane with cell metabolism, were discovered on the ventricular myocytes of guinea pigs by Noma using the patch-clamp technique in 1983. Subsequently, KATP channels have been found to be expressed in pancreatic β cells, cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle cells, and nerve cells in the substantia nigra (SN), hippocampus, cortex, and basal ganglia. KATP channel openers (KCOs) diazoxide, nicorandil, minoxidil, and the KATP channel inhibitor glibenclamide have been shown to have anti-hypertensive, anti-myocardial ischemia, and insulin-releasing regulatory effects. Increasing evidence has suggested that KATP channels also play roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), vascular dementia (VD), Huntington's disease (HD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. KCOs and KATP channel inhibitors protect neurons from injury by regulating neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter release, inhibiting abnormal protein aggregation and Ca2+ overload, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and microglia activation. However, KATP channels have dual effects in some cases. In this review, we focus on the roles of KATP channels and their related openers and inhibitors in neurodegenerative diseases. This will enable us to precisely take advantage of the KATP channels and provide new ideas for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
A new palladium coordination compound based on gliclazide with the chemical formula [Pd(glz)2] (where glz = gliclazide) has been synthesized and characterised. The structural characterization reveals that this material consists of mononuclear units formed by a Pd2+ ion coordinated to two molecules of the glz ligand, in which palladium ions exhibit a distorted plane-square coordination sphere. This novel material behaves like a good and selective inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase, one of the most relevant therapeutic targets against Alzheimer's disease. Analysis of the enzyme kinetics showed a mixed mode of inhibition, the title compound being capable of interacting with both the free enzyme and the enzyme-substrate complex. Finally, the palladium compound shows promising protective activity against Aβ-induced toxicity in the Caenorhabditis elegans model, which has never been reported.

Inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome by glibenclamide attenuated dopaminergic neurodegeneration and motor deficits in paraquat and maneb-induced mouse Parkinson's disease model.

Abstract
Pesticides exposure can lead to damage of dopaminergic neurons, which are associated with increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the etiology of PD remains poorly understood and no therapeutic strategy is available. Previous studies suggested the involvement of NLRP3 inflammasome in the onset of PD. This study was designed to investigate whether glibenclamide, an inhibitor of NLRP3 inflammasome, could offer a reliable protective strategy for PD in a mouse PD model induced by paraquat and maneb. We found that glibenclamide exerted potent neuroprotection against paraquat and maneb-induced upregulation of α-synuclein, dopaminergic neurodegeneration and motor impairment in brain of mice. Mechanistically, glibenclamide treatment blocked NLRP3 inflammasome activation evidenced by reduced expressions of NLRP3, activated caspase-1 and mature interleukin-1β in glibenclamide co-treated mice compared with those in paraquat and maneb group mice. Furthermore, glibenclamide treatment mitigated paraquat and maneb-induced microglial M1 proinflammatory response and nuclear factor-κB activation in mice. Finally, the increased superoxide production, lipid peroxidation, protein levels of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induced by paraquat and maneb were all attenuated by glibenclamide. Overall, our findings demonstrated that glibenclamide protected dopaminergic neurons in a mouse PD model induced by combined exposures of paraquat and maneb through suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, microglial M1 polarization and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The aim of the present research was to describe the consequences of hyperlipidemia (HL) on the pharmacokinetics of glibenclamide (Gb) in poloxamer 407-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Rats were given intraperitoneal dose of poloxamer 407 to cause hyperlipidemia. A single oral dose of Gb (10 mg/Kg) was given to normal and HL rats. The Cmax and tmax after oral dose of Gb in normal rats were 340.10 µg/ml and 3.67 h, respectively. Whereas, the Cmax and tmax after oral dose of Gb in HL rats were noted as 773.39 µg/ml and 2.50 h respectively. The AUC value of Gb was found considerably higher in the HL rats. While the plasma clearance (CL) after oral dose of Gb was 2.53 ml/h and 1.39 ml/h in normal and HL rats respectively. The improved plasma concentration of Gb following oral dosing in rats with HL seems to be due to a direct influence on hepatic clearance or metabolizing enzymes. In conclusion, the Gb pharmacokinetics was considerably affected by the HL in rats. Such findings play an important role for predicting the alterations in the pharmacokinetics of drugs including GB, in cases having hyperlipidemia.
