Development and evaluation of multi-functionalized sialic acid conjugated asiatic acid nanoconstruct to mitigate cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease. Drug Dev Res 2024; 85:e22146.

Abstract
Sialic acid (SA) serves a critical role in neuronal repair and cognitive functions. SA is a nine-carbon carboxylated sugar with a glycoconjugate cap that acts as a ligand and surface decoration with SA facilitates delivery to the target site. The present research aimed to develop SA surface modified AA nanostructured lipid carrier (NLCs) with carbodiimide conjugation method. Sterylamine, poloxamer 188 and tween 80 were used as surfactants and several characterization studies including, differential scanning calorimetry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and x-ray photon spectroscopy were analyzed. Further, in vitro, neuroprotective efficiency was evaluated in SH-SY5Y cells and hCMEC/D3 cells and found significant potential effects with the treatments of developed NLCs. Pharmacodynamics studies were also assessed in beta-amyloid-injected rats following quantification of Alzheimer's disease (AD) hallmarks like, Aβ(1-42), tau-protein, glycogen synthase kinase-3β levels, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α for neuroinflammatory responses. Characterization studies revealed the conjugation on developed NLCs. The in vitro and in vivo results showed significant effects of SA decorated NLCs in reversing the damage by toxicant which was further characterized by the levels of neurotransmitters like acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase. The results revealed significant (p < .05) refurbishment of cholinergic functions after 28 days of treatment of developed NLCs. These preclinical findings support the use of SA as a ligand to deliver the AA at targeted site as well as to mitigate the cognitive deficits in AD.

[PMID: 36029999 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2022.101725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
The old people often suffer from circadian rhythm disturbances, which in turn accelerate aging. Many aging-related degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and osteoarthritis have an inextricable connection with circadian rhythm. In light of the predominant effects of clock genes on regulating circadian rhythm, we systematically present the elaborate network of roles that clock genes play in aging in this review. First, we briefly introduce the basic background regarding clock genes. Second, we systemically summarize the roles of clock genes in aging and aging-related degenerative diseases. Third, we discuss the relationship between clock genes polymorphisms and aging. In summary, this review is intended to clarify the indispensable roles of clock genes in aging and sheds light on developing clock genes as anti-aging targets.
