With the passage of time, people step toward old age and become more prone to several diseases associated with the age. One such is Alzheimer's disease (AD) which results into neuronal damage and dementia with the progression of age. The existing therapeutics has been hindered by various enkindles like less eminent between remote populations, affordability issues and toxicity profiles. Moreover, lack of suitable therapeutic option further worsens the quality of life in older population. Developing an efficient therapeutic intervention to cure AD is still a challenge for medical fraternity. Recently, alternative approaches attain the attention of researchers to focus on plant‐based therapy in mitigating AD. In this context, flavonoids gained centrality as a feasible treatment in modifying various neurological deficits. This review mainly focuses on the pathological facets and economic burden of AD. Furthermore, we have explored the possible mechanism of flavonoids with the preclinical and clinical aspects for curing AD. Flavonoids being potential therapeutic, target the pathogenic factors of AD such as oxidative stress, inflammation, metal toxicity, Aβ accumulation, modulate neurotransmission and insulin signaling. In this review, we emphasized on potential neuroprotective effects of flavonoids in AD pathology, with focus on both experimental and clinical findings. While preclinical studies suggest promising therapeutic benefits, clinical data remains limited and inconclusive. Thus, further high‐quality clinical trials are necessary to validate the efficacy of flavonoids in AD. The study aim is to promote the plant‐based therapies and encourage people to add flavonoids to regular diet to avail the beneficial effects in preventive therapy for AD.

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of water kumquat (Fortunella margarita) extracts in mitigating hepatotoxicity induced by carbendazim (CBZ), a broad-spectrum fungicide, both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: In vitro, HepG2 liver cancer cells were exposed to CBZ to determine the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and assess the protective effects of kumquat water extracts. In vivo, 48 healthy male albino Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two main groups: a negative control group and a CBZ intoxication group. The CBZ group was further subdivided to receive varying concentrations of hot or cold water kumquat extracts. Liver functions were evaluated through biochemical assays, while histopathological examinations assessed tissue damage. Results: Kumquat water extracts exhibited significant hepatoprotective effects. In vitro, kumquat extracts improved cell viability and reduced oxidative stress markers compared to CBZ-treated cells. In vivo, treatment with kumquat extracts led to reduced levels of liver enzymes, improved antioxidant status, and minimized histopathological damage in CBZ-exposed rats. The protective effects were dose-dependent, with higher concentrations of kumquat extracts showing more effectiveness and benefits. Conclusion: Kumquat water extracts demonstrate considerable potential in protecting against CBZ-induced liver toxicity. These investigations suggest that kumquat extracts could serve as a natural therapeutic option for preventing or mitigating liver damage caused by pesticide exposure.
Compounds of natural origin found in varying quantities in plant-based products constitute a highly significant category, possessing structural significance as well as the capacity to regulate oxidative processes. The activity of these compounds may be modulated by the composition of the biological environment in which they operate, the pH of the environment, or the presence of metal cations in plants or plant extracts. A successful complexation reaction was mainly confirmed by FT-IR, observing the shift from the original transmittance of catechin bonds, especially O-H ones. This work shows the synthetic methodology and the optimization process that took place to synthesize a catechin–copper complex, which demonstrated antioxidant activity. It was tested for iron chelation ability, hydroxyl radicals, and the inhibition of lipoxygenase (15-LOX). An antidiabetic assay was performed by determining the inhibition of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase, finding that the synthesized complex had similar inhibitory potential as pure catechin. The antibacterial tests showed results against Staphylococcus aureus and the antifungal properties of the complex against Candida albicans.
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.
