Sinigrin may be used as a natural and bioactive compound for the treatment of neurotoxicity, according to studies.
Neuroprotection is anything used or intake for the protection of neurons in the brain.
Neurotoxicity is a condition in which the structure or function of the central and/or peripheral nervous system has been damaged due to the presence of biological, chemical, or physical toxins.
Neurons are the cells in the brain with a unique function in which the information is being received processed, and transmitted from cell to cell, muscle, or gland cells.
Neuron toxicity can occur in any part of the brain, depending on the types of neurotoxin. Symptoms of neurotoxicity are also depending on the neurons' specific functions, and the neurotransmitters affected.
According to Integrative Psychiatry, symptoms may include
* Brain fog – loss of mental focus, ADD, ADHD, impaired memory, poor decision-making;
* Insomnia – difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both
* Pain – migraines, fibromyalgia.
* Obesity – metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and diabetes.
These results clearly suggested that neurotransmitter imbalance can cause a wide range of diseases.
Researchers on finding a natural compound that processes neuroprotective effects examined the Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), presented in Wasabia japonica (wasabi), and an aliphatic isothiocyanate derived from the precursor sinigrin on neurotoxicity.
Pretreatment with AITC significantly inhibited the production of free radical NO induced by nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and protein (COX-2) associated with inflammation.
Injection of AITC decreased the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) during the acute phase of infection.
Furthermore, AITC inhibited the nuclear factor NF-κB induced oxidative stress and the pathway involved in directing cellular responses.
Moreover, AITC also protected the microglia damage induced by overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α.
The results strongly suggested that AITC exerts anti-neuroinflammatory effects on microglial cells, which may have clinical significance in neurodegeneration.
Taken altogether, sinigrin a bioactive ingredient may be considered a functional supplement for the prevention and treatment of neuro-toxicity, pending the confirmation of a large sample size and multicenter human study.
However, intake of bioactive in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care, as liver toxicity may be induced if overdosed.
