- W3208228503 abstract "Neuroinflammation constitutes a major player in the etiopathology of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), by orchestrating several neurotoxic pathways which in concert lead to neurodegeneration. A positive feedback loop occurs between inflammation, microglia activation and misfolding processes that, alongside excitotoxicity and oxidative events, represent crucial features of this intricate scenario. The multi-layered nature of NDDs requires a deepen investigation on how these vicious cycles work. This could further help in the search for effective treatments.Electrophiles are critically involved in the modulation of a variety of neuroprotective responses. Thus, we envisioned their peculiar ability to switch on/off biological activities as a powerful tool for investigating the neurotoxic scenario driven by inflammation in NDDs. In particular, in this thesis project, we wanted to dissect at a molecular level the functional role of (pro)electrophilic moieties of previously synthesized thioesters of variously substituted trans-cinnamic acids, to identify crucial features which could interfere with amyloid aggregation as well as modulate Nrf2 and/or NF-κB activation. To this aim, we first synthesized new compounds to identify bioactive cores which could specifically modulate the intended target. Then, we systematically modified their structure to reach additional pathogenic pathways which could in tandem contribute to the inflammatory process. In particular, following the investigation of the mechanistic underpinnings involving the catechol feature in amyloid binding through the synthesis of new dihydroxyl derivatives, we incorporated the identified antiaggregating nucleus into constrained frames which could contrast neuroinflammation also through the modulation of CB2Rs. In parallel, Nrf2 and/or NF-κB antinflammatory structural requirements were combined with the neuroprotective cores of pioglitazone, an antidiabetic drug endowed with MAO-B inhibitory properties, and memantine, which notably contrasts excitotoxicity. By acting as Swiss army knives, the new set of molecules emerge as promising tools to deepen our insights into the complex scenario regulating NDDs." @default.
