Update on Bexarotene for Alzheimer’s. In the Pipeline:

By | June 10, 2014

Following is a list of peroxynitrite scavengers containing methoxy and hydroxy groups that have partially reversed Alzheimer’s disease in human clinical trials: rosemary essential oil (eugenol) and lemon essential oil (geraniol) via aromatherapy (Jimbo, et al.–lavender and orange were used in the evenings for relaxation), heat-processed ginseng (ferulic acid, vanillic acid, and syringic acid) (Heo, et al.), lemon balm essential oil extract (eugenol, ferulic acid) (Akhondzadeh et al.), citrus peel (hesperidin) (Seki, et al.), and mulberry leaves (ferulic acid, vanillic, syringic, and sinapic acid) (Scrihaikul).

Perhaps there is a chemist out there who can add or rearrange the methoxy and hdyroxy groups to produce even better results. If he or she can, good fortune to them and to all those with Alzheimer’s disease or taking care of someone with Alzheimer’s disease.
