Abstract
Restoration of blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, which drives worse outcomes of ischemic stroke, is a potential target for therapeutic opportunities, whereas a sealed BBB blocks the therapeutics entrance into the brain, making the BBB protection strategy paradoxical. Post ischemic stroke, hypoxia/hypoglycemia provokes the up-regulation of transmembrane glucose transporters and iron transporters due to multiple metabolic disorders, especially in brain endothelial cells. Herein, we develop a myricetin oligomer-derived nanostructure doped with Ce to bypass the BBB which is cointermediated by glucose transporters and iron transporters such as glucose transporters 1 (GLUT1), sodium/glucose cotransporters 1 (SGLT1), and transferrin(Tf) reporter (TfR). Moreover, it exhibits BBB restoration capacity by regulating the expression of tight junctions (TJs) through the activation of protective autophagy. The myricetin oligomers scaffold not only acts as targeting moiety but is the prominent active entity that inherits all diverse pharmacological activities of myricetin. The suppression of oxidative damage, M1 microglia activation, and inflammatory factors makes it a multitasking nanoagent with a single component as the scaffold, targeting domain and curative components.

Abstract
Stroke is the most common cause of death among neurological diseases. The protective effects of Potentilla reptans L. include antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects. In this study, the brain protection and beta-amyloid effects of P. reptans root extract were investigated in the rat brain ischemia/reperfusion (IR) model. Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 8), including IR, sham, and three groups receiving P. reptans with concentrations of 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1 (g/kg/b.w.), which were injected daily for 7 days. For the IR model, the common carotid artery was occluded bilaterally for 8 min. All injections were intraperitoneal (IP). The shuttle box test was used to measure passive avoidance memory. Then the brain tissue was extracted for the histological examination of neuron counts and β-amyloid plaques using a morphometric technique, and finally, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software was used for statistical analysis of the data. Pretreatment with P. reptans improved memory impairment. Also, by examining the tissues of the CA1, CA3, and dentate gyrus areas of the hippocampus, it was observed that the number of plaques in the groups receiving P. reptans extract was reduced compared to the IR group, especially at the concentration of 0.05 g/kg/b.w. Also, P. reptans improved the number of neurons at all concentrations, in which the concentration of 0.05 g/kg/b.w. showed more effective therapeutic results. Taken together, we found that P. reptans root extract has beneficial effects on memory impairment, neuronal loss, and β-amyloid accumulation.

Abstract
Astrocytes are considered to be the dominant cell fraction of the central nervous system. They play a supportive and protective role towards neurons, and regulate inflammatory processes; they thus make suitable targets for drugs and supplements, such as polyphenolic compounds. However, due to their wide range, knowledge of their anti-inflammatory potential remains relatively incomplete. The aim of this study was therefore to determine whether myricetin and chrysin are able to decrease chemokine release in reactive astrocytes. To assess the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of polyphenols, human primary astrocytes were cultured in the presence of a reactive and neurotoxic astrocyte-inducing cytokine mixture (TNF-α, IL-1a, C1q), either alone or in the presence of myricetin or chrysin. The examined polyphenols were able to modify the secretion of chemokines by human cortical astrocytes, especially CCL5 (chrysin), CCL1 (myricetin) and CCL2 (both), while cell viability was not affected. Surprisingly, the compounds did not demonstrate any antioxidant properties in the astrocyte cultures.

Abstract
Neurodegeneration of the brain after ischemia is a major cause of severe, long-term disability, dementia, and mortality, which is a global problem. These phenomena are attributed to excitotoxicity, changes in the blood-brain barrier, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, vasoconstriction, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and ultimately neuronal death. In addition, genetic factors such as post-ischemic changes in genetic programming in the expression of amyloid protein precursor, β-secretase, presenilin-1 and -2, and tau protein play an important role in the irreversible progression of post-ischemic neurodegeneration. Since current treatment is aimed at preventing symptoms such as dementia and disability, the search for causative therapy that would be helpful in preventing and treating post-ischemic neurodegeneration of Alzheimer's disease proteinopathy is ongoing. Numerous studies have shown that the high contents of flavonoids and phenolic acids in honey have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-amyloid, anti-tau protein, anticholinesterase, serotonergic, and AMPAK activities, influencing signal transmission and neuroprotective effects. Notably, in many preclinical studies, flavonoids and phenolic acids, the main components of honey, were also effective when administered after ischemia, suggesting their possible use in promoting recovery in stroke patients. This review provides new insight into honey's potential to prevent brain ischemia as well as to ameliorate damage in advanced post-ischemic brain neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Flavonoids are a major class of secondary metabolites that comprises more than 6000 compounds that have been identified. They are biosynthesized via the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway that involves groups of enzymes such as isomerases, hydroxylases, and reductases that greatly affect the determination of the flavonoid skeleton. For example, transferase enzymes responsible for the modification of sugar result in changes in the physiological activity of the flavonoids and changes in their physical properties, such as solubility, reactivity, and interaction with cellular target molecules, which affect their pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic properties. In addition, flavonoids have diverse biological activities such as antioxidants, anticancer, and antiviral in managing Alzheimer’s disease. However, most marine flavonoids are still incompletely discovered because marine flavonoid biosynthesis is produced and possesses unique substitutions that are not commonly found in terrestrial bioactive compounds. The current chapter will illustrate the importance of flavonoids’ role in metabolism and the main difference between marine and terrestrial flavonoids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuronal apoptosis is the main cause for the disabilities and deaths of patients suffered with stroke. Neuroprotectants are clinically used to reduce neuronal apoptosis in ischemic stroke. However, the current neuroprotectants have multiple limitations. Myricetin is beneficial for multiple neurodegenerative diseases, but the role of myricetin as a neuroprotective agent in ischemic stroke is still not fully understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Middle cerebral artery occlusion, Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling staining and Western blots were used to explore the anti-apoptotic effects of myricetin in vivo. Flow cytometry, Western blots and Ca2+ staining were used to study the neuroprotective effects of myricetin in vitro. In this study, we first demonstrated that myricetin reduced neuronal apoptosis after ischemia in vivo and in vitro. And, among the factors of apoptosis after ischemic stroke, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress and inflammation-induced apoptosis can be alleviated by myricetin. Moreover, we further demonstrated that myricetin was able to improve neuronal intrinsic apoptosis by inhibiting the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase in the oxygen and glucose deprivation in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Summarily, our results support myricetin as a novel neuroprotectant for the prevention or treatment of ischemic stroke via MAPK-ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Myricetin (MYR) is a bioactive secondary metabolite found in plants that is recognized for its nutraceutical value and is an essential constituent of various foods and beverages. It is reported to exhibit a plethora of activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory. Alpha-2-macroglobulin (α2M) is a major plasma anti-proteinase that can inhibit proteinases of both human and non-human origin, regardless of their specificity and catalytic mechanism. Here, we explored the interaction of MYR-α2M using various biochemical and biophysical techniques. It was found that the interaction of MYR brings subtle change in its anti-proteolytic potential and thereby alters its structure and function, as can be seen from absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy. UV spectroscopy of α2M in presence of MYR indicated the occurrence of hyperchromism, suggesting complex formation. Fluorescence spectroscopy reveals that MYR reduces the fluorescence intensity of native α2M with a shift in the wavelength maxima. At 318.15 K, MYR binds to α2M with a binding constant of 2.4 × 103 M-1, which indicates significant binding. The ΔG value was found to be - 7.56 kcal mol-1 at 298.15 K, suggesting the interaction to be spontaneous and thermodynamically favorable. The secondary structure of α2M does not involve any major change as was confirmed by CD analysis. The molecular docking indicates that Asp-146, Ser-172, Glu-174, and Tyr-180 were the key residues involved in α2M-MYR complex formation. This study contributes to our understanding of the function and mechanism of protein and flavonoid binding by providing a molecular basis of the interaction between MYR and α2M.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a leading cause of dementia, has been a global concern. AD is associated with the involvement of the central nervous system that causes the characteristic impaired memory, cognitive deficits, and behavioral abnormalities. These abnormalities caused by AD is known to be attributed by extracellular aggregates of amyloid beta plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. Additionally, genetic factors such as abnormality in the expression of APOE, APP, BACE1, PSEN-1, and PSEN-2 play a role in the disease. As the current treatment aims to treat the symptoms and to slow the disease progression, there has been a continuous search for new nutraceutical agent or medicine to help prevent and cure AD pathology. In this quest, honey has emerged as a powerful nootropic agent. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the high flavonoids and phenolic acids content in honey exerts its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. This review summarizes the effect of main flavonoid compounds found in honey on the physiological functioning of the central nervous system, and the effect of honey intake on memory and cognition in various animal model. This review provides a new insight on the potential of honey to prevent AD pathology, as well as to ameliorate the damage in the developed AD.

Abstract
There has been an increasing interest in the consumption of halophytes as a healthy food in the last few years. Salicornia ramosissima is a seasonal Mediterranean halophyte with an interesting profile of bioactive compounds, including more than 60 identified polyphenols with a broad range of biological activities. Accumulating evidence supports the role of dietary polyphenols in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke. Stroke is the second cause of death worldwide and it is estimated that a substantial proportion of stroke incidence and recurrence may be prevented by healthier dietary patterns. Here, we have grouped the phenolic acids and flavonoids identified in S. ramosissima and reviewed their potential protective effect on brain ischemia, which are mostly related to the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation, the inhibition of cell death pathways and their role in the preservation of the vascular function. Despite the fact that most of these compounds have been reported to be neuroprotective through multiple mechanisms, human studies are still scarce. Given the safe profile of polyphenols identified in S. ramosissima, this halophyte plant could be considered as a source of bioactive compounds for the nutraceutical industry.

Abstract
The influence of kaempferol (K), myricetin (M) and lipoic acid (LA) on the properties of natural erythrocytes, isolated from animal blood and biological membrane models (monolayers and liposomes) made of phosphatidylcholine (PC), cholesterol (CHOL), and sphingomyelin (SM), CHOL in a ratio of 10:9, was investigated. The Langmuir method, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and microelectrophoresis were used. The presented results showed that modification of liposomes with kaempferol, myricetin and lipoic acid caused changes in the surface charge density and the isoelectric point value. Comparing the tested systems, several conclusions were made. (1) The isoelectric point for the DPPC:Chol:M (~2.2) had lower pH values compared to lipoic acid (pH~2.5) and kaempferol (pH~2.6). (2) The isoelectric point for the SM-Chol with myricetin (~3.0) had lower pH values compared to kaempferol (pH~3.4) and lipoic acid (pH~4.7). (3) The surface charge density values for the DPPC:Chol:M system in the range of pH 2-9 showed values from 0.2 to -2.5 × 10-2 C m-2. Meanwhile, for the DPPC:Chol:K and DPPC:Chol:LA systems, these values were higher at pH~2 (0.7 × 10-2 C m-2 and 0.8 × 10-2 C m-2) and lower at pH~9 (-2.1 × 10-2 C m-2 and -1.8 × 10-2 C m-2), respectively. (4) The surface charge density values for the SM:Chol:M system in the range of pH 2-9 showed values from 0.5 to -2.3 × 10-2 C m-2. Meanwhile, for the DPPC:Chol:K and DPPC:Chol:LA systems, these values were higher at pH~2 (0.8 × 10-2 C m-2), and lower at pH~9 (-1.0 × 10-2 C m-2 and -1.8 × 10-2 C m-2), respectively. (5) The surface charge density values for the erythrocytes with myricetin in the range of pH 2-9 showed values from 1.0 to -1.8 × 10-2 C m-2. Meanwhile, for the erythrocytes:K and erythrocytes:LA systems, these values, at pH~2, were 1.3 × 10-2 C m-2 and 0.8 × 10-2 C m-2 and, at pH~9, -1.7 × 10-2 C m-2 and -1.0 × 10-2 C m-2, respectively.

Abstract
Introduction: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a crucial cause of neonatal death and neurological sequelae, but currently there is no effective therapy drug for HIE. Both oxidative stress and apoptosis play critical roles in the pathological development of HIE. Myricetin, a naturally extracted flavonol compound, exerts remarkable effects against oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation. However, the role and underlying molecular mechanism of myricetin on HIE remain unclear. Methods: In this study, we established the neonatal rats hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain damage model in vivo and CoCl2 induced PC12 cell model in vitro to explore the neuroprotective effects of myricetin on HI injury, and illuminate the potential mechanism. Results: Our results showed that myricetin intervention could significantly reduce brain infarction volume, glia activation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress marker levels through activating NRF2 (Nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2) and increase the expressions of NRF2 downstream proteins NQO-1 and HO-1. In addition, the NRF2 inhibitor ML385 could significantly reverse the effects of myricetin. Conclusion: This study found that myricetin might alleviate oxidative stress and apoptosis through NRF2 signaling pathway to exert the protective role for HI injury, which suggested that myricetin might be a promising therapeutic agent for HIE.

Abstract
Myricetin is a flavonoid widely-distributed in foods with many beneficial health effects, which has been marketed in health products. Formaldehyde is an environmental carcinogen which can enhance the Warburg effect through the induction of human hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α), the primary regulator of cellular glycolysis. HIF-1α was verified as an important target in lung and ovarian tumors, which was also identified as a receptor for myricetin via molecular docking. The reinforced HIF-1α signaling, the Warburg effect and T cell suppression induced by 50 μM formaldehyde in both A549 and Caov-3 cells were dose-dependently attenuated by myricetin from 20 to 100 μM, and the attenuative effects were diminished by the stabilization of HIF-1α with deferoxamine. Exposure to 2.0 mg/m3 formaldehyde also stimulated tumor growth and elevated HIF-1α expression in tumor tissues of A549 xenograft mice, which were also alleviated by oral administration of 100 mg/kg myricetin. These results demonstrated that myricetin alleviated formaldehyde-enhanced Warburg effect in tumor cells through HIF-1α inhibition, which could be further developed as a therapeutic or complementary agent for formaldehyde-induced carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The gaps between the complex nature of cancer and therapeutics have been narrowed down due to extensive research in molecular oncology. Despite gathering massive insight into the mysteries of tumor heterogeneity and the molecular framework of tumor cells, therapy resistance and adverse side effects of current therapeutic remain the major challenge. This has shifted the attention towards therapeutics with less toxicity and high efficacy. Myricetin a natural flavonoid has been under the spotlight for its anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. The cutting-edge molecular techniques have shed light on the interplay between myricetin and dysregulated signaling cascades in cancer progression, invasion, and metastasis. However, there are limited data available regarding the nano-delivery platforms composed of myricetin in cancer. In this review, we have provided a comprehensive detail of myricetin-mediated regulation of different cellular pathways, its implications in cancer prevention, preclinical and clinical trials, and its current available nano-formulations for the treatment of various cancers.

Abstract
Myricetin is a natural flavonoid extracted from a variety of plants, such as medicinal herbs, vegetables, berries, and tea leaves. A growing body of evidence has reported that myricetin supplementation display therapeutic activities in a lot of nervous system disorders, such as cerebral ischemia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and glioblastoma. Myricetin supplementation can also protect against pathological changes and behavioral impairment induced by multiple sclerosis and chronic stress. On the basis of these pharmacological actions, myricetin could be developed as a potential drug for the prevention and/or treatment of nervous system disorders. Mechanistic studies have shown that inhibition of oxidative stress, cellular apoptosis, and neuroinflammatory response are common mechanisms for the neuroprotective actions of myricetin. Other mechanisms, including the activation of the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), protein kinase B (Akt), cyclic adenosine monophosphate-response element binding protein (CREB), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, inhibition of intracellular Ca2+ increase, inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-p38 activation, and suppression of mutant protein aggregation, may also mediate the neuroprotective effects of myricetin. Furthermore, myricetin treatment has been shown to promote the activation of the inhibitory neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, which subsequently produces anti-epilepsy effects. In this review, we make a comprehensive understanding about the pharmacological effects of myricetin in the nervous system, aiming to push the development of myricetin as a novel drug for the treatment of nervous system disorders.

Abstract
The virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes the disease coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The cumulative number of cases reported globally is now nearly 197 million and the number of cumulative deaths is 4.2 million (26 July to 1 August 2021). Currently we are focusing primarily on keeping a safe distance from others, washing our hands, and wearing masks, and the question of the effects of diet and diet-dependent risk factors remains outside the center of attention. Nevertheless, numerous studies indicate that diet can play an important role in the course of COVID-19. In this paper, based on select scientific reports, we discuss the structure and replication cycle of SARS-CoV-2, risk factors, dietary standards for sick patients, and the roles of the microbiome and dietary components supporting the immune system in preventing COVID-19.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD; progressive neurodegenerative disorder) is associated with cognitive and functional impairment with accompanying neuropsychiatric symptoms. The available pharmacological treatment is of a symptomatic nature and, as such, it does not modify the cause of AD. The currently used drugs to enhance cognition include an N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist (memantine) and cholinesterase inhibitors. The PUBMED, Medical Subject Heading and Clinical Trials databases were used for searching relevant data. Novel treatments are focused on already approved drugs for other conditions and also searching for innovative drugs encompassing investigational compounds. Among the approved drugs, we investigated, are intranasal insulin (and other antidiabetic drugs: liraglitude, pioglitazone and metformin), bexarotene (an anti-cancer drug and a retinoid X receptor agonist) or antidepressant drugs (citalopram, escitalopram, sertraline, mirtazapine). The latter, especially when combined with antipsychotics (for instance quetiapine or risperidone), were shown to reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms in AD patients. The former enhanced cognition. Procognitive effects may be also expected with dietary antioxidative and anti-inflammatory supplements—curcumin, myricetin, and resveratrol. Considering a close relationship between brain ischemia and AD, they may also reduce post-brain ischemia neurodegeneration. An investigational compound, CN-105 (a lipoprotein E agonist), has a very good profile in AD preclinical studies, and its clinical trial for postoperative dementia is starting soon.
