Effects of quercetin and derivatives on NAMPT/Sirtuin-1 metabolic pathway in neuronal cells: an approach to mitigate chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment. Metab Brain Dis 2025; 40:151. [PMID: 40085284 PMCID: PMC11909064 DOI: 10.1007/s11011-025-01567-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2024] [Accepted: 03/02/2025] [Indexed: 03/16/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The cognitive alterations observed in individuals undergoing cancer treatments have garnered more attention recently. Chemotherapy can reduce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels by inhibiting nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT). This reduction can make cancer cells more susceptible to oxidative damage and death and may also affect non-cancerous cells, particularly the brain cells. During chemotherapy-induced suppression, the downregulation of the NAMPT-mediated NAD+/Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) pathway may cause dyscognition. Objective: This study aimed to assess the role of quercetin and analogues in chemobrain and the associated mechanisms. Methods: The potential of quercetin and its derivatives interaction with NAMPT and SIRT1 proteins was performed using computational studies followed by their in vitro evaluation in SH-SY5Y cells. Molecular docking and simulation studies of human SIRT1 and NAMPT proteins with quercetin and its derivatives were performed. Differentiated SH-SY5Y cell lines were treated with quercetin and selected derivatives against Methotrexate and 5-Fluorouracil (MF) toxicity, by subjecting to cytotoxicity assay, flow cytometry, and RT-PCR analysis. Results: Quercetin, Rutin, and Isoquercetin showed interactions necessary in the activation process of both proteins. Cytotoxicity and flow cytometric studies demonstrated that the phytochemicals shield the differentiated SH-SY5Y cells from MF toxicity. As determined by RT-PCR investigations, NAMPT and SIRT1 gene mRNA expression was higher in test drug-treated cells at quercetin (0.12, 0.6 µM), rutin, and isoquercetin (16, 80 µM) and lower in MF-treated cells. Conclusion: The treatment of phytochemicals alleviated CICI by targeting NAMPT and SIRT1 proteins, which could lead to the identification of effective treatment strategies for the chemobrain.

Byrsonima sericea Ethanol Extract Protected PC12 Cells from the Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis Induced by 6-Hydroxydopamine. Neurochem Res 2024; 49:234-244. [PMID: 37725292 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-023-04028-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
Parkinson's disease is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway and oxidative stress is one of the main mechanisms that lead to neuronal death in this disease. Previous studies have shown antioxidant activity from the leaves of Byrsonima sericea, a plant of the Malpighiaceae family. This study aimed to evaluate the cytoprotective activity of the B. sericea ethanolic extract (BSEE) against the cytotoxicity induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in PC12 cells, an in vitro model of parkinsonism. The identification of phenolic compounds in the extract by HPLC-DAD revealed the presence of geraniin, rutin, isoquercetin, kaempferol 3-O-β-rutinoside, and quercetin. The BSEE (75-300 µg/mL) protected PC12 cells from toxicity induced by 6-OHDA (25 µg/mL), protected cell membrane integrity and showed antioxidant activity. BSEE was able to decrease nitrite levels, glutathione depletion, and protect cells from 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis. Thus, we suggest that the BSEE can be explored as a possible cytoprotective agent for Parkinson's disease due to its high antioxidant capacity and anti-apoptotic action.

Expanding Arsenal against Neurodegenerative Diseases Using Quercetin Based Nanoformulations: Breakthroughs and Bottlenecks. Curr Neuropharmacol 2023; 21:1558-1574. [PMID: 35950245 PMCID: PMC10472810 DOI: 10.2174/1570159x20666220810105421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Quercetin (Qu), a dietary flavonoid, is obtained from many fruits and vegetables such as coriander, broccoli, capers, asparagus, onion, figs, radish leaves, cranberry, walnuts, and citrus fruits. It has proven its role as a nutraceutical owing to numerous pharmacological effects against various diseases in preclinical studies. Despite these facts, Qu and its nanoparticles are less explored in clinical research as a nutraceutical. The present review covers various neuroprotective actions of Qu against various neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A literature search was conducted to systematically review the various mechanistic pathways through which Qu elicits its neuroprotective actions and the challenges associated with raw Qu that compromise therapeutic efficacy. The nanoformulations developed to enhance Qu's therapeutic efficacy are also covered. Various ongoing/completed clinical trials related to Qu in treating various diseases, including NDs, are also tabulated. Despite these many successes, the exploration of research on Qu-loaded nanoformulations is limited mostly to preclinical studies, probably due to poor drug loading and stability of the formulation, time-consuming steps involved in the formulation, and their poor scale-up capacity. Hence, future efforts are required in this area to reach Qu nanoformulations to the clinical level.

Abstract
Polygonatum sibiricum (Asparagaceae) is often used as an herbal drug in the traditional medicine of Southeast Asia. Its rhizome, called “Huang Jing”, is used in traditional Chinese medicine as an immune system stimulant, hypolipidemic agent, anti-aging agent, anti-fatigue agent, and cardiovascular protectant. We investigated the antioxidant, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE), anti-inflammatory, and anti-α-glucosidase effects of various solvent extracts and major bioactive components of Polygonatum sibiricum (PS) and processed Polygonatum sibiricum (PPS). Dichloromethane extract of PS showed stronger antioxidant effects by DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, and EtOAc extract displayed relatively high antioxidant activity by a superoxide radical scavenging test. Moreover, acetone, EtOAc, and dichloromethane extracts displayed a significant anti-α-glucosidase effect. EtOH and CH2Cl2 extracts showed effective AChE inhibitory activity. In addition, dichloromethane extract showed the best inhibition against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) accumulation in RAW264.7 macrophages. HPLC analysis was used to investigate and compare the content of major active components of various solvent extracts of PS and PPS. Rutin showed the most effective scavenging of DPPH and ABTS free radicals, while scopoletin and isoquercetin displayed the strongest anti-α-glucosidase and anti-AChE effect, respectively. Rutin showed the best inhibition against LPS-induced NO production and also inhibited inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in Western blot. The molecular docking of AChE and iNOS revealed that active components could have a better antagonistic effect than positive controls (common inhibitors). This study shows that the active extracts and components of Polygonatum sibiricum have the potential to be further developed as a natural anti-AChE, anti-α-glucosidase, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
