Aging causes changes in brain tissue homeostasis, thus contributing to the development of neurodegenerative disorders. Antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds are of particular interest for neurodegenerative diseases whose psychopathological mechanisms strongly rely on oxidative stress at the brain level. Moreover, phenolic compounds display other advantages such as the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and the interesting molecular mechanisms.

1. Introduction

Worldwide, the number of elderly people will double in the next 35 years, leading to an increase in the incidence of neurodegenerative disorders [1]. Neurodegenerative diseases are chronic disorders of the central nervous system, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and Huntington’s disease (HD) [2]. One of the main causes of neurodegeneration is aging, which can lead to changes in the brain related to its tissue homeostasis and contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Some neurodegenerative diseases share physiopathology characteristics, such as aggregates of misfolded proteins and the formation of extracellular or intracellular plaques [2][3]. It has been observed that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) could exacerbate neurodegenerative diseases as it infects the brain by binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors that are widely expressed in the brain, including on dopaminergic neurons, which, along with consequent neuroinflammation, contribute in the short and long term to the onset of disorders such as PD [4]. Furthermore, comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension can promote these processes. In cells, mitochondria play a key role in oxidative phosphorylation during the catabolism of glucose and the generation of cellular energy. Nevertheless, they lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to various alterations in the antioxidant system that oxidizes molecules, including lipids, proteins, nucleic acids (DNA/RNA), and enzymes [5]. Lipids are essential in neuronal function, acting as a barrier between the intracellular and extracellular space. They are prone to oxidation by free radicals, which alter cell permeability and facilitate the entry of molecules that cannot normally enter except through specific channels (K+, Ca2+). They might damage proteins such as enzymes or receptors, altering cellular functioning. These alterations are present in AD, PD, and HD [6]. Standard treatment for neurodegenerative diseases does not work for most patients, who require personalized treatment. Research with new drugs has not obtained favorable results, which raises the need for new therapeutic schemes that could include phenolic compounds. It has been observed that, when consumed, phenolic compounds may function as natural inhibitors of enzymes involved in glucose metabolism, particularly α-glucosidase and α-amylase [7]. Additionally, several phenolic compounds can cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and have important biological effects in in vitro and in vivo models of neurodegenerative diseases, which are mainly associated with their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity [8] and can even improve permeability when there are BBB alterations [9].

2. Physiopathology of Neurodegenerative Diseases

One of the main characteristics of neurodegenerative diseases is the imbalance and increase in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RNS), which can occur due to aggregates of altered proteins [10] or altered levels of neurotransmitters, such as glutamate. Glutamate is the most important excitatory neurotransmitter in mammals, as it is involved in cognitive processes, memory, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal development [11]. Mutations in genes encoding ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits, which are critical for synaptic transmission and plasticity, are associated with intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. In contrast, mutations in metabotropic glutamate receptors (GluRs), which play a role in modulating neural transmission, are preferentially associated with psychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders. The metabotropic receptors mGluR1 and mGluR5 Group I are coupled to the activation of Gq/11 proteins, which couple to signaling pathways that can affect protein kinase activation and stimulate Ca2+ release from neuronal stores (endoplasmic reticulum), triggering cell death processes [12].
Glutamate concentrations at the intracellular level are in the millimolar range, while at the extracellular level, they are at micromolar concentrations. Excess glutamate causes neuroinflammation and excitotoxicity in vitro and in vivo by the overactivation of ionotropic receptors and, as a result, contributes to neuronal death by apoptosis and autophagy [13].
Glutamate can reduce the cell survival rate by up to 60% compared to the control group in mouse hippocampal neuronal HT22 cells. Furthermore, glutamate treatment increases ROS levels [14]. The increase in ROS is due to increased Ca2+, as it can elevate mitochondrial overload, nitric oxide production, lipid peroxidation, and cytochrome C dissociation [15][16]. The use of phenolic compounds has been proposed to reduce oxidative stress and mitigate some of the alterations generated by the deregulation of the redox system since the compounds can eliminate superoxide, peroxide, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide (NO), and peroxynitrite (OONO-), which are constantly produced in cells because of cellular respiration [17][18].
Damage to cell populations of astrocytes and neurons leads to the release of glutamate into the extracellular space, exacerbating neurodegenerative pathologies. Currently, there are a few drugs approved for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. For example, in the handling of AD, there are three classes of approved medications, cholinesterase enzyme inhibitors, and N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists, which only alleviate the symptoms of AD but do not cure or prevent the disease [19]. In January 2023, the FDA approved a new treatment with a human anti-beta amyloid (Aβ) monoclonal antibody, which is effective in reducing Aβ accumulation and slowing cognitive decline [20].
HD is caused by the expression of the mutant huntingtin protein, and these proteins can interact with hydrogen peroxide, glutathione, and, especially, copper, which promotes the oxidation of the N171 huntingtin fragment and leads to its oligomerization (there is an average of one copper for every three molecules of the huntingtin N171 protein) [21]. Additionally, in HD, alterations can be found in neuronal myelination, leading to attempted remyelination by oligodendrocytes. Iron is critical for oligodendrocyte differentiation and proliferation processes and is dependent on high iron stores. Studies in HD patients and healthy patients have shown an increase in iron in certain brain regions, such as the striatum [22]. In neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation is caused by protein aggregation or by the effect of autoimmunity, leading to an increase in cytokines, chemokines, and ROS [23][24]. Some of the most common alterations in the physiopathology of neurodegenerative diseases are shown in Figure 1. It has been demonstrated that natural and synthetic phenolic compounds can scavenge free radicals and chelate transition metals, halting progressive oxidative damage [25].

3. General Aspects of Phenolic Compounds

Phenolic compounds are natural metabolites that consist of at least one aromatic ring (benzene) with one or more hydroxyl substituents. They can be as simple as pyrogallol or as complex as tannic acid. The main classification criteria for phenolic compounds rely on (a) the number of rings and (b) the substitution patterns of the ring [26]. Based on the number of rings, phenolic compounds are classified as simple phenols, which can have one (single phenols) to two rings (biphenols), and polyphenols (>2 rings) [27].
Simple phenolic compounds have a C6 skeleton, which was substituted in the “-R” group. The last can be an organic, hydroxy, carboxy, or other functional group (Figure 2). Regarding the substitution patterns to “-R”, the configurations “ortho”, “meta”, and “para” in single phenols refer to 1,2, 1,3, and 1,4 substitution patterns by two hydroxyl functional groups in the benzene ring, respectively (Figure 2) [28]. However, benzenes can also be substituted with two or three functional groups. Some examples of these patterns are more extensively illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Simple phenol compound configurations and examples. (a) Phenol structure. (b) Simple phenolic compounds are substituted in “-R” by an organic, hydroxy, carboxy, or other functional group. (c) In simple substituted phenol compounds, also named hydroxyphenols or dihydroxybenzenes (blue dotted box), the “-R” group can be in the ortho (o), meta (m), or para (p) position of the ring. (d) Dihydroxyphenols (trihydroxybenzenes) (yellow dotted box). (e) Hydroxybenzoic acids are carboxylic-substituted phenols in o-, m- or p-positions (green dotted box). (f) Dihydroxybenzoic and trihydroxybenzoic acids are shown in the purple dotted box. (g) Phenols with the carboxylic acid functional group separated from the ring by a C=C bond are known as hydroxycinnamic acids (grey dotted box). (h) Simple phenols also can be substituted with methoxy groups (orange dotted box).
Other important criteria to classify phenolic compounds are the arrangement of the rings in polyphenols and the number and type of substituents to those rings. This classification yields flavonoids, phenolic acids, tannins, stilbenes, and lignans (Figure 3) [29][30].
Figure 3. Polyphenolic compound classification and examples. Phenolic compounds are classified into simple phenols (see Figure 2), biphenols (pink dotted box), or polyphenols (orange dotted box). Their principal categories are phenolic acids (benzoic acids, cinnamic acids, and phenylacetic acids), coumarins, stilbenes, tannins (condensed tannins, hydrolyzable tannins, and complex tannins), and lignans, which are known as non-flavonoids (blue solid box) and flavonoids (antoxanthins and anthocyanidins) (green solid box). Other polyphenolic compounds (gray solid box).
It is generally known that phenolic compounds display a wide spectrum of bioactivities; one of the most relevant and extensively studied is antioxidant bioactivity. The antioxidant capacity of phenolic compounds is due to their reducing property acting as hydrogen or electron donors. Furthermore, the number of hydroxyl groups and their positions relative to the carboxyl functional group influence their antioxidant capacity [31][32][33]. Antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds are of particular interest for neurodegenerative diseases whose psychopathological mechanisms strongly rely on oxidative stress at the brain level. Antioxidant bioactivities are displayed from simple phenols to the most complex ones, as will be described below.
In vitro, pyrogallol (Figure 2d) has been shown to inhibit alpha-synuclein (αSyn), a protein related to neurodegenerative diseases, such as PD, DLB, and MSA, by interacting with the N-terminal and NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) domains of the protein [34]. Tyrosol has been shown to prevent the formation of αSyn aggregates, a protein implicated in oxidative stress and neurotoxicity [35]. In a different study, using a mouse model, phloroglucinol (Figure 2d) showed permeability to BBB, which also inhibited the formation of αSyn and β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide aggregates, arrested cognitive impairment, and prevented the cytotoxicity of both αSyn and β-amyloid; a molecular docking model showed hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds between phloroglucinol and Aβ1-42/α-syn [36].
From polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids are the major group and are widely found in fruits, generally in the form of secondary metabolites [37]. The structure of flavonoids consists of two benzene rings (A and B) linked to a third ring (C), a heterocyclic pyran, or pyrone [31]. Flavonoids are subdivided into two classes: those containing a hydroxyl group on C-3 of the C ring, known as hydroxy flavonoids, and flavonoids lacking the hydroxyl group, known as 3-deoxyflavonoids. The hydroxyl groups provide flavonoids with a great antioxidant capacity. Thus, they can act as reducing agents, hydrogen donors, scavengers of superoxide radicals, and singlet oxygen. Flavonoids can even activate antioxidant enzymes [38].
Phenolic compounds, such as tannins, can interact with proteins, ROS/RNS, and transition metals due to the inherent chemical and structural properties of the compound and proteins; interactions with proteins can be hydrophobic between the aromatic ring of the tannin and the hydrophobic region of the protein, in addition to the formation of hydrogen bonds. Interactions may vary in the size and charge of the molecule or protein, as well as the length and flexibility of the compound [39]. Thus, they illustrate a potential to be used to inhibit the formation of protein aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases.

4. Molecular Mechanisms of Phenols to Prevent Neurodegeneration

Treatment with phenolic compounds can modulate transition metal-related events in the pathophysiological processes of neurodegenerative diseases and regulate the production of ROS through different mechanisms. In HD, there are alterations in neuronal myelination, leading to an attempt at remyelination by oligodendrocytes, and iron is essential for the processes of differentiation and proliferation of oligodendrocytes, which depend on high iron stores. Natural and synthetic phenolic compounds can scavenge free radicals and chelate transition metals, halting progressive oxidative damage [21][22]. Polyphenol ligands can strongly stabilize Fe3+ compared to Fe2+. For example, in the presence of O2, the Fe2+ complexes of catecholate and gallate were rapidly oxidized to form Fe3+-polyphenol complexes [40].
Another alternative is the formation of complexes within the carbonyl group; metal ion complexes are usually formed on the C-4 keto group and the hydroxyl group on the C-5, leading to the formation of metal–flavonoid complexes. When the carbonyl group is absent, the chelation capacity of the compounds depends on the hydroxylation pattern, as the compounds tend to serve as hydrogen bridge donors [41]. The antioxidant containing the H atom reacts with the free radicals, and the free radical is stabilized to form a neutral species, while the antioxidant becomes a free radical species. The phenolic antioxidant (PA) can provide an H atom to the free radical and produce a nonradical substrate species (RH, ROH, or ROOH) and an antioxidant free radical [40].
Phenol oxidation results in the formation of quinone products of its antioxidant, and quinones can form reaction adducts of Michael addition in nucleophilic groups such as thiols and amines (Gly, Nα-acetyl-Lys, Nε-acetyl-Lys, and L-Lys) from some proteins, such as albumin [42].
Moreover, phenolic compounds can interact with proteins through noncovalent bonds comprising hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bridges, van der Waals forces, and ionic interactions with proteins, such as with proline-rich proteins, albumin, gelatin, b-lactoglobulin, lysozyme, and serum proteins. Oxidation products of phenolic compounds such as quinones can form covalent bonds by binding to amino groups or amino acid side chains [43]. These interactions could explain why they can modulate signaling pathways involved in neurodegenerative processes and have a positive or negative effect, depending on the proteins with which they interact.
