Terazosin Attenuates Neuronal Pyroptosis by Regulating the Mitochondrial ROS/NLRP3 Inflammasome Axis Through Mitophagy in Cerebral Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury (CI/RI) is a major cause of secondary neuronal damage following ischemic stroke. This study investigated whether terazosin (TZ) exerts neuroprotective effects by regulating mitophagy and the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/NOD‐like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome axis.

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.
