Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is considered one of the most complex neurodegenerative disorders. Amyloid and tau pathology, along with neurofibrillary tangles, are most commonly seen in this disease. Various compounds show promising responses in treating this disease, but they also cause severe side effects. To minimize these side effects, researchers explored several natural products for the treatment of this disease. Natural products cause very minimal side effects as compared to isolated chemical compounds. The minimal side effect might be due to the complex synergistic effects of various bioactive components present in these natural products. Several natural products like green tea, epigallocatechin gallate, baicalein, berberine, and quercetin show a robust response in the treatment of AD. Some natural compounds like Ginkgo biloba extract and Huperzine A passed the clinical trial on PD. This chapter has explored the potential of some of the most common natural products to treat AD in a sequence-wide manner.
