AI Technical Summary
Existing NADPH oxidase inhibitors have low solubility in aqueous solutions, resulting in insufficient bioavailability and therapeutic potential. They cannot effectively target Nox1 and Nox4, limiting their application in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
The specific NADPH oxidase inhibitor 3-cyclohexyl-5-(2,4-dihydroxybenzylmethyl)-1-methyl-2-thiohydantoin was reformulated into an ionic liquid-based choline salt ([Chol]2[N1(4)inh]+N1(4)inh) to improve its solubility and bioavailability in aqueous solution and to bypass the blood-brain barrier via intranasal delivery.
It improves the solubility and bioavailability of inhibitors, reduces neurotoxicity, and shows high neuroprotective potential, effectively slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease.
