Biological target: Transcrocetinate disodium, extracted from saffron (Crocus sativus L.), acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist with high affinity.
In vitro activity: Trans-crocetin was selected for in depth molecular characterization of its potentially protective effects against Alzheimer's Disease (AD), utilizing two AD neuronal cell culture models (SH-SY5Y overexpressing APP and PC12 expressing hyperphosphorylated tau). Biologically relevant concentrations, ranging from 0.1 μM to 1 mM, applied for 24 h or 72 h, were well tolerated by differentiated wild type SH-SY5Y and PC12 cells. Trans-crocetin dramatically reduced BACE1 (by 80%), total PSEN1 (by 17%), PSEN1 (by 65%) and PSEN2 (by 23%), as well as their complexes (by 69 and 50%, respectively), while it increased PSEN1- and PSEN2-CTF (by 83 and 57%, respectively). Meanwhile it significantly increased total APP by 46%, cellular APP by 41%, and APP-C99 by 107% (Figure 4). Additionally, trans-crocetin significantly reduced both total (by 46%) and phosphorylated tau (pThr231 by 19% and pSer199/Ser202 by 68%), as well as GSK3β (by 53%), ERK2 (by 37%), pERK1 (by 35%) and pERK2 (by 32%).
