Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a serious health concern, affecting millions of people globally, which leads to cognitive impairment, dementia, and inevitable death. There is still no medically accepted treatment for AD. Developing therapeutic treatments for AD is an overwhelming challenge in the medicinal field, as the exact mechanics underlying its devastating symptoms is still not completely understood. Rather than the unknown mechanism of the disease, one of the limiting factors in developing new drugs for AD is the blood-brain barrier (BBB). A combination of nanotechnology with fluorinated molecules is proposed as a promising therapeutic treatment to meet the desired pharmacokinetic/physiochemical properties for crossing the BBB passage. This paper reviews the research conducted on fluorine-containing compounds and fluorinated nanoparticles (NPs) that have been designed and tested for the inhibition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide aggregation. Additionally, this study summarizes fluorinated molecules and NPs as promising agents and further future work is encouraged to be effective for the treatment of AD.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一个严重的健康问题,影响着全球数百万人,导致认知障碍、痴呆和不可避免的死亡。目前还没有医学上公认的 AD 治疗方法。开发 AD 的治疗方法是医学领域的一个巨大挑战,因为其破坏性症状的确切机制仍不完全清楚。对于开发治疗 AD 的新药来说,除了未知的疾病机制,一个限制因素是血脑屏障(BBB)。将纳米技术与含氟分子结合,被提议作为一种有前途的治疗方法,以满足穿过 BBB 所需的药代动力学/物理化学特性。本文综述了对含氟化合物和氟化物纳米粒子(NPs)的研究,这些化合物和氟化物纳米粒子已被设计和测试用于抑制淀粉样β(Aβ)肽聚集。此外,本研究总结了氟化物分子和 NPs 作为有前途的药物,并鼓励进一步开展工作,以有效治疗 AD。
