Scientific Background | Eicosanoyl-5-hydroxytryptamide is a natural compound found in coffee that synergizes with caffeine to exert neuroprotective effects. It inhibits PP2A methylesterase, maintaining PP2A activity and reducing alpha-synuclein phosphorylation. In mouse models of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, it preserves neuronal integrity, reduces neuroinflammation, and improves cognitive and motor performance, making it a promising candidate for neurodegenerative disease intervention. |
