EVs-mediated delivery of CB2 receptor agonist for Alzheimer's disease therapy.

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a typical neurodegenerative disease that leads to irreversible neuronal degeneration, and effective treatment remains elusive due to the unclear mechanism. We utilized biocompatible mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles as carriers loaded with the CB2 target medicine AM1241 (EVs-AM1241) to protect against neurodegenerative progression and neuronal function in AD model mice. According to the results, EVs-AM1241 were successfully constructed and exhibited better bioavailability and therapeutic effects than bare AM1241. The Morris water maze (MWM) and fear conditioning tests revealed that the learning and memory of EVs-AM1241-treated model mice were significantly improved.
