▎ 摘  要

Emerging clinically required alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) inhibitor which acts as a neuroprotective nanocomposite drug is in increased demand as a patient-safe central nervous system therapeutic. This inhibitor is intended to chemically engineer graphene quantum dot (GQD) with blue luminescence, and stands to be a potential cure for Parkinson's disease. It has been theorized that alpha-syn aggregation is a critical step in the development of Parkinson's. Hence narrow the target by alpha-syn inhibition, through chemically synthesize methyl N-allyl N-benzoylmethio-ninate (MABM) and functionally engineer the surface of GQD to target the brain delivery on C57BL/6 mice. Spectroscopic and simulation studies confirm defibrillation through the interaction between N-terminal amino acids and MABM-GQD nanoparticles, which makes nontoxic alpha-syn. Therefore, this drug's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier in vitro functionally prevents neuronal loss in neuroblastoma cells. Thus, in vivo cerebral blood flow analysis using magnetic resonance imaging illustrates, how this nanocomposite can possibly treat Parkinson's. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
