Scientific Background |
Piceatannol, a naturally occurring analog of resveratrol, is gaining recognition in neuroscience for its neuroprotective potential. It inhibits nonreceptor tyrosine kinases Syk and Lyk (IC50 ~10 µM) and activates Sirt1, a sirtuin linked to cellular longevity and neuroprotection. These dual actions suggest a role in modulating neuroinflammatory pathways and oxidative stress—key contributors to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. While traditionally cited in cancer and immunology research, Piceatannol’s emerging relevance in neuronal health highlights its value in developing targeted therapies for cognitive decline and age-related neurodegeneration. |
