| Ferulic acid is an antioxidant found in some skin creams and serums. Foods: popcorn, bamboo, whole-grain rye bread, whole-grain oat flakes, sweet corn (cooked) Ferulic acid (FA) is a hydroxycinnamic acid abundant in plant cell walls (notably cereals/whole grains) with strong antioxidant and cytoprotective activity. Mechanistically, FA is frequently described as inducing Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant programs and suppressing NF-κB-linked inflammation, with additional model-dependent anticancer effects (cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, reduced invasion). Oral exposure is variable because FA is rapidly metabolized (often as conjugates) and bioaccessibility depends on the food matrix. -Ferulic acid found in dietary strand fractions, especially its free form, has important functions for protecting the human health. -AChE inhibitor (AD) -Cooking results in an increase in free ferulic acid quantity and in a reduction in bound ferulic acid quantity. Bamboo shoots 243.6 mg/100g Sugar-beet pulp 800 mg/100g Popcorn 313 mg/100g Wheat bran 500–1500mg/100g Whole wheat flour 100–300mg/100g
Pathway / Target Modulation by FA / Direction Aβ aggregation ↓ Inhibits fibril formation and destabilizes existing Aβ fibrils BACE‑1 & APP ↓ Reduces BACE-1 and APP expression; ↑ MMP‑2/‑9 expression promoting Aβ clearance Tau hyperphosphorylation Implicitly ↓ through modulation of Ca²⁺/CDK5/GSK3β pathways Ca²⁺ ↓ FA lowers STEP levels via chelation of Ca²⁺, suppressing PP2B → restores synaptic plasticity (AChE / BChE) ↓ Inhibition of AChE (FA IC₅₀~15 µM, derivatives IC₅₀ down to 0.006 µM); also BChE (MAO‑A/B) ↓ Inhibits MAO‑B (derivatives IC₅₀ ~0.3–0.7 µM), reducing ROS ROS ↓ Scavenges ROS, enhances antioxidant enzymes (e.g., catalase), ↓ MDA (COX‑2, 5‑LOX, NLRP3) ↓ Derivatives inhibit COX‑2/5‑LOX; derivative 13a ↓ NLRP3 inflammasome Iron/Cu²⁺ chelation ↓ Metal-induced Aβ aggregation via chelation by FA and derivatives Autophagy & Aβ clearance ↗ Suggested promotion of autophagy mechanisms targeting Aβ

| FIS1 — Mitochondrial fission 1 protein FIS1 is relevant to Alzheimer’s disease as part of the pathological mitochondrial fission program. AD models and human tissue studies show an imbalance toward mitochondrial fission, involving increased DRP1 and FIS1 and reduced fusion proteins such as MFN1, MFN2, and OPA1. Aβ and phosphorylated tau are linked to abnormal DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fragmentation, and increased DRP1/FIS1 interaction has been reported in Aβ-treated neurons and AD patient-derived fibroblasts.
