Abstract

Topic- Novel Therapeutic Target for Neuro-degenerative Disorder by Agrima Srivastava, Shivam Yadav and Dr Himani Awasthi (Guide)

Identification of therapeutic targets based on novel mechanism approach is urgently needed for neuro- degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and many more. Limited knowledge of the molecular basis of disease, pathogenesis is a major hurdle in the identification of drug targets and development of therapeutic strategies for the largely prevalent disorders. Inhibition of the stress-induced endoplasmic reticulum kinase (Protein Kinase RNA like endoplasmic reticulum kinase) may be a potential therapeutic strategy for treating neurodegenerative disorder.

These diseases are usually classified as neuro-degenerative disease that represents a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by progressive structural or functional neuronal loss or both. Treatment of these disorders is a great challenge due to the prevalence of such diseases and the severity of clinical symptoms.

Abstract

Topic - Recent Advances in Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease by Sonam Patel, Nidhi Mishra and Dr Himani Awasthi (Guide)

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that impairs mainly the memory and cognitive functions in elder people. Various studies conducted recently indicate that Alzheimer’s symptom-relieving drugs have the ability of regulating amyloid precursor protein processing and tau phosphorylation.

It has been proposed that ß-amyloid peptide has a key role in this disease. Several different pharmacological strategies have been developed with the aim of inhibiting the formation of ß-amyloid peptides, such as the inhibitors of ß-secretase and ?-secretase. In addition, anti-amyloid treatments have been developed, which include passive and active immunotherapies focused on inhibiting the aggregation of ß-amyloid peptides.

Advances in the identification of the molecular basis of AD can serve as a model to understand the causes of this neurodegenerative disease. However, the most recent clinical trials in 2 phase III trials with solanezumab, a humanised monoclonal antibody that promotes the clearance of ß-amyloid in the brain, indicate that this antibody does not show efficacy in patients with mild AD, suggesting that rethink this amyloidogenic hypothesis of AD.
