Description: The potentially groundbreaking treatment combines an antibiotic called rifampicin with resveratrol -- an antioxidant found in plants.
Previous studies by the team found that rifampicin could remove amyloid beta and tau from the brains of mice. However, the drug also has a link to side-effects, including liver damage. Luckily, resveratrol boosts the functioning of the organ. It’s a naturally occurring ingredient in wine, fruit, nuts, and chocolate — and manufacturers sell it as a food supplement.
“To combat the negative side effects of the existing drug rifampicin, we thought of combining it with the hepatoprotective effects of resveratrol,” Prof. Tomiyama says.
With our aging demographics, the problems of autism and dementia become increasingly important all around the globe. The possible advance described here has yielded promising results in animal testing and is now being queued up for human trials.

Side effects are always the problem with each drug. It is true that as we age, our brains also have a change in our body and I say this for my father that as the years go by he becomes more stubborn.

And to think that until a few decades ago, although it seemed incredible, lobotomy was practiced to cure mental illnesses. The way it was practiced was like a horror movie, but the reality is that it was done that way. Luckily, science advances and methods are improving, as is the case with this innovative nasal spray. We just have to wait for it to go through the different phases so that it can be approved and supplied to humans.
