Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of memory and cognition, neuronal death, and synaptic dysfunction. Pathological hallmarks include extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. Curcumin, the principal bioactive polyphenol of Curcuma longa, has demonstrated potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-amyloid activities. Yet, its limited solubility, rapid metabolism, and poor blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability constrain its clinical translation. In silico drug-design strategies allow rational modification of curcumin to improve its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. The present review-style work proposes the computational design, ADMET screening, and molecular dynamics (MD) analysis of modified curcumin derivatives capable of simultaneously targeting key enzymes and signaling pathways implicated in AD, such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), β-secretase (BACE1), and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β). This integrative computational framework may facilitate the identification of multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs) for future experimental validation.
