Alborixin
Alborixin is an inhibitor of the PI3K-AKT pathway that induces autophagy. It promotes the clearance of intracellular and extracellular amyloid-β by upregulating autophagy-related proteins (such as BECN1, ATG5, ATG7) and enhancing lysosomal activity, thereby reducing amyloid-β-mediated neurotoxicity. Alborixin shows potential for research in Alzheimer's disease[1].
