Abstract :
Extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and
intracellular accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles are
indicative of the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD),
a neurological illness that impairs memory and learning.
It is now imperative to find new therapeutic medicines
with more efficacy and fewer adverse effects due to the
aging population and rising incidence of AD.
Conventionally, a range of synthetic drugs are used to
treat symptoms and prevent the advancement of the
condition. These drugs include tacrine, donepezil,
galantamine, rivastigmine, memantine, glutathione,
ascorbic acid, ubiquinone, ibuprofen, and ladostigil .The
spotlight has shifted to herbal medicines due to their
perceived effectiveness and minimal side effects. Due to
their potential to alleviate symptoms associated with
neurological illnesses, Lavandula angustifolia, Ginkgo
biloba, Melissa officinalis, Crocus sativus, ginseng, Salvia
miltiorrhiza, and Magnolia officinalis have become more
well-known. This article provides an overview of the
therapeutic effects of these phytomedicines, showcasing
their impact on various factors related with Alzheimer’s.
