Alzheimer's disease is the most common in the elderly population. Due to its irreversible and progressive nature, it gained more attention for early management. In this regard, several new therapeutic targets, such as degrading neurotransmitter enzymes, amyloid cascade enzymes, and monoamine oxidases, have been explored. Inhibition of these targets with natural and synthetic compounds and dietary supplements has been traditionally exercised for decades in the etiology of AD. Secondary metabolites obtained from natural resources are in the trend to use against these targets. The purpose of this review is to provide a brief introduction to AD along with the related concept of several therapeutic compounds involved in the progression of the disease and its management using different natural compounds against selected targets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
