background: despite the outbreak in dental science, oral and dental complications in alzheimer are of the unsolved problems. it is assumed that tumor necrosis factor-α, which is a key factor in alzheimer, has a relation with periodontal complications in patients with alzheimer disease. the present study evaluated the effect of chronic periodontitis on serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α in ...

New series of indole derivatives analogous to donepezil, a well known anti-Alzheimer and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug, was synthesized. A full chemical characterization of the new compounds is provided. Biological evaluation of the new compounds as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors was performed. Most of the compounds were found to have potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor activity compar...

Abstract Fifteen new benzothiophene-based compounds were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potential anti-Alzheimer agents. Most of the synthesized exhibited remarkable AChE inhibitory activity effectively inhibited self-mediated ?-amyloid protein in vitro. Compound 3g (IC 50 = 72.488 ± 3.69 ?M) showed a significant effect exceeding that donepezil 87.414 4.46 ?M). Furthermore, compound 3j...

Resveratrol is the new Rasayan. The discovery point of resveratrol was red wine, conferring positive health in Europeans in general and the French in particular. This is similar to Ayurvedic product Drakshasav (alcoholic preparation prepared from grapes). The Rasayan products specifically extend life (anti aging, provide stamina and tone up health in general). The resveratrol has been found to ...
