Neuroprotective Effect of Natural Product in Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer' s disease, one of the neurodegenerative diseases, affects millions of people.People with Alzheimer's disease have difficulty with daily life due to cognitive and physical impairment.The cause of Alzheimer's disease is unclear, but several treatments are being used to target the main pathological factors.The drugs currently being used have limitations in that they can't completely treat the disease and have side effects.Therefore, research is being conducted on natural products such as medicinal plants, fruits, and marine organisms as potential therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer' s disease.Natural products have been used in various commercial sectors such as food and cosmetics since the past, and they have been used for various diseases due to their inflammation-improving and anti-cancer effects.Researchers are studying natural products as therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases because they may have neuroprotective roles, such as alleviating neuroinflammation and modulating systemic immune responses.Moreover, they have been shown to play a neuroprotective role, including preventing amyloid beta formation and inhibiting hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins.Natural products, unlike conventional drugs, have fewer side effects and are economical, indicating their potential as new treatment strategies for Alzheimer' s disease.
