These evaluationshave demonstrated their capacity to incorporate into neuronal membranes,thus suggesting a key role in modulating neurodegenerative pathwaysin disorders, namely Alzheimer’s disease, among others. Moreover, these molecules have been stressedby their prominent role in the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9). Here, MMP9 is linked to early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease.
