Abstract

One of the most prevalent neurological movement diseases affecting the geriatric population globally is Parkinson’s disease (PD). Recent studies have highlighted the potency of biomolecules in the generation of nanomaterials and also over their impact on neuroprotection. The objective of this research was to investigate the potential of iron oxide nanoparticles produced using ascorbic acid (AA-IONPs) against PD. Numerous analytical methods including UV–Vis analysis, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), were used to analyze the produced AA-IONPs. Nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, and inflammatory cytokines analyses such as IL-6 and IL-1 were employed to assess the neuroprotective effect of synthesized AA-IONPs on inflammatory agent lipopolysaccharides driven murine microglial BV2 cells. And also Parkinson-induced C57BL/6 mice were given the nanoparticle treatment to confirm the in vivo effects of the produced nanoparticles. Our characterization findings had demonstrated that AA-IONPs have a significant role in acting as an ideal nano drug and may have the ability to reduce inflammation in in vitro murine microglial BV2. The outcomes of in vivo tests conclusively show that AA-IONPs had reduced neuroinflammation and enhanced motor coordination in Parkinson’s disease-induced rats.
