Mechanistic Insights into the Neuroprotective Potential of Sacred Ficus Trees.

Summary

The Bo tree and Indian banyan are valued for their spiritual and therapeutic properties. While various parts of these trees have been studied for their diverse medicinal properties, comprehensive reviews of their neuroprotective potential are lacking. This review highlights key phytochemicals, such as flavonoids and terpenes, from these trees that have potent neuroprotective effects. With neurodegenerative disorders having complex pathophysiology, bioactive compounds with diverse pharmacological effects offer potential for developing treatments. Such compounds could lead to pharmacophores for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
