Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as a robust in vivo platform for modeling Parkinson’s disease (PD)-like neurodegeneration triggered by environmental toxicants. Compounds such as rotenone, MPTP (via its active metabolite MPP⁺), and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) reproduce central pathological features of PD, including dopaminergic (DAergic) neuron loss, mitochondrial impairment, oxidative stress, and behavioral anomalies. This review compiles findings from over 15 key studies, examining the cellular mechanisms of neurotoxicity, genetic influences on vulnerability, and the advantages of C. elegans for rapid drug discovery.
