Abstract:
This invention describes a comprehensive nutraceutical designed to antagonize major mitigating factors to the degenerative process associated with Parkinson's disease. The formulation is comprised of a primary base of pyruvate, succinate, α-Ketoglutarate and/or oxaloacetate, niacin/NADH, fruit extracts, anthocyanins, further combined with specific macro/micronutrients, trace elements, amino acids, flavonoids and concentrated plant sources. The nutraceutical contains all natural substances that should mitigate many of the neurodegenerative processes known to be associated with PD. Mechanisms addressed are to prevent the loss of ATP/by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium rotenone, scavenge hydrogen peroxide/O2.−, augment antioxidant enzymes, prevent dopamine (DA) oxidation to DA-quinone via inhibition of COX, PLA2, LOX, xanthine oxidase, tyrosinase, prevent hyperhomocysteinemia, antagonize PARP-1 apoptosis, increase blood flow, glucose and oxygen delivery to the brain, potentiate mitochondrial function, antagonize glia iNOS and MAO or its products, chelate redox-active iron, inhibit heme oxygenase-1, inhibit alpha-synuclein aggregation, augment ATP storage, mediate anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of PDE, MAPK p38/c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/PGE2, antagonize excitotoxicity and downregulate N-methyltransferase, all of which contribute toward PD pathology.
