Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) represents a significant neurodegenerative challenge with current therapeutic strategies primarily focused on symptomatic management. This review explores the relationship between disrupted circadian rhythms, AD and the critical involvement of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) signaling pathways. These pathways hold promise for new drug development and provide insights into the complex pathogenesis of AD. Enhancement of brain bioavailability through advanced drug delivery systems is proposed and reviewed.
