Summary of the purported effects of polyphenols in models of toxicity related to amyloid peptides.

Polyphenols Study Model Treatment Duration Study Outcomes Refs.
Curcumin Aged APPsw Tg2576 mice 5 months Reduced Aβ levels and plaque burden [27]
Parts of Tg2576 mouse brain 3-6 days Suppressed Aβ aggregation; mediated disaggregation of Aβ
Neuronal hippocampal cultures 1 to 24 hours Suppressed the generation of Aβ fibrils and
fibril-destabilizing activities
Resveratrol Neuronal hippocampal cultures 2 hours Blocked Aβ-induced toxicity [30, 245, 246]
Cells transfected with human APP695 24 hours Mediated Aβ degradation
Neuronal hippocampal cultures 24 hours Showed anti-amyloidogenic properties
Myricetin Neuronal hippocampal cultures 1 to 24 hours Showed fibril-destabilizing properties; blocked Aβ(1-40)-induced toxicity; suppressed the generation of Aβ fibrils [25]
EGCG Neuronal hippocampal cultures 24-48 hours Suppressed soluble forms of Aβ and Aβ fibrilization; blocked Aβ(1-42)-induced toxicity [219, 263, 264]
Tg APPsw mouse models 2 months Reduced Aβ levels and Aβ plaques
C57/BL mouse models; human neuroblastoma cells 7-14 days Elevated the levels of sAPP release; mediated
non-amyloidogenic pathway
Ellagic acid and Punicalagin Tg APPsw/Tg2576 mouse models 6-8 months Ameliorated AD-like pathology and behavior along with a reduced level of Aβ(1-42) and Aβ deposition [172]
Gallic acid and
tannic acid
Neuronal hippocampal cultures 1 to 24 hours Showed fibril-destabilizing properties; blocked Aβ-induced toxicity; suppressed the generation of Aβ fibrils [265]
