AN UPDATE ON MEDICINAL PLANTS FOR ALZHEMERS DISEASE: A REVIEW
Sharada Nalla* and Eswar Kumar A.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer’s is an age dependent progressive neuro degenerative disorder. This is the most common type of dementia. Which is characterized by detoriated memory; thinking and behaviour affect the daily social life of the person. There are some therapeutic agents to treat alzhemers such as cholinesterase inhibitors and NMDA receptor antagonists. But these are having limited effectiveness. There are no agents to completely cure the alzhemers but those agents can postpone the onset or progression of alzhemers. Now there is a need to investigate about the new compounds which can cure the disorder. Some herbs may help to improve cognitive functions of brain and may reverse the progressive pathological changes of alzhemers disease although the exact mechanism of their action is still not clear. Natural plant extracts are considered as safe and acceptable treatment over the synthetic medicines. The main objective of this review is to provide the list of various plants which enhance the cognition and reverse the pathology of alzhemers that could be baseline information in drug discovery and development of new leads for alzhemers disease. Keywords: Neurodegenerative disorder, cognition, medicinal plants. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
