Neurotrophic factors play an important role in the development and maintenance of neurons, thus providing a suitable therapeutic approach for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, their clinical use has revealed problematic because of a number of technical and biological disadvantages. Among the different strategies proposed to overcome such difficulties, the search for non-peptide substances with neurotrophic potential is giving promising results. Here we will expose major findings in this field, drawing special attention to cyclohexenonic long-chain fatty alcohols, a novel family of compounds that promote neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth.
神经营养因子在神经元的发育和维持中起着重要作用,因此为治疗神经退行性疾病提供了合适的疗法。然而,由于存在一系列技术和生物学上的缺点,它们在临床应用中遇到了问题。在提出的不同克服这些困难的策略中,寻找具有神经营养潜力的非肽类物质正取得令人鼓舞的成果。本文将展示该领域的主要发现,特别关注环己烯型长链脂肪醇,这是一个促进神经元存活和神经突延伸的新型化合物家族。
