Pharmacological activities and therapeutic potential of Hyperoside in the treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases: A systemic review

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are neurodegenerative disorders that significantly impact well-being. Hyperoside (HYP), a flavonoid found in various plant species, particularly within the genus Hypericin, exhibits diverse pharmacological properties. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the anti-AD and anti-PD effects of HYP remain unclear. This systematic review consolidated existing preclinical research on HYP by conducting a comprehensive literature survey and analysis. The objective was to corroborate the therapeutic efficacy of HYP in AD and PD models and to synthesize its potential therapeutic mechanisms. Searches were conducted in the PubMed, CNKI, and Web of Science databases. Reliability assessment of the 17 included studies confirmed the credibility of the mechanisms of action of HYP against AD and PD. We systematically assessed the neuroprotective potential of HYP in in vivo and in vitro models of AD and PD. Our findings indicated that HYP can mitigate, intervene in, and treat AD and PD animal models and associated cells through various mechanisms, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-Aβ aggregation, and cholinesterase inhibitory activities. Therefore, HYP potentially exerts anti-AD and anti-PD effects through diverse mechanisms, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic intervention in both AD and PD.
