Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease. Daidzein (DAI) is one of the most commonly ingested phytoestrogens with anti-oxidant properties. However, the effects of DAI on oxidative stress in PD has not been reported. In this study, we used 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) for i.p. injection of C57/BL6J mice for continuous 7 days to simulate the pathol. process of PD. Results showed that DAI improved the movement disorders and reduced the loss of DA neurons in the brain of mice induced by MPTP. Mechanistically, in vitro, DAI pretreatment up-regulated the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream SOD1 and SOD2 by inhibiting the activity of GSK3β in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV2 cells; in vivo, DAI pretreatment attenuated GSK3β activity, increased the expression of Nrf2 and downstream anti-oxidants SOD1, SOD2 and CAT. Our data demonstrated that DAI restrains oxidative stress in PD by regulating the GSK3β/Nrf2 pathway. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2′,7′-Dichloro-3′,6′-dihydroxy-3H-spiro[isobenzofuran-1,9′-xanthen]-3-one (cas: 76-54-0Reference of 76-54-0).
2′,7′-Dichloro-3′,6′-dihydroxy-3H-spiro[isobenzofuran-1,9′-xanthen]-3-one (cas: 76-54-0) belongs to benzofurans derivatives. Benzofuran is a core structural unit found in many naturally occurring compounds with multidirectional biological activities. Introduction of benzofurans in organic synthesis, particularly drug synthesis, involves generally the use of their metalated species as nucleophiles in addition reactions or in metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions.Reference of 76-54-0
