Scientists found that certain fractions of the medicinal plant SF from Greece have significant antioxidant and anti-neurotoxic effects, indicating its potential as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Further study of SF extract partitioning is needed.
Researchers examined the phytochemical composition and biological activities of extracts from . Four solvents of varying polarity were used for extraction, and the extracts were tested for their chemical composition, antioxidant, anti-Alzheimer, and antibacterial properties. The MeOH extract had strong antioxidant and antibacterial activity, while the EtOAc extract had strong anti-Alzheimer and anti-cancer activity. Ten previously unidentified chemical compounds were also discovered. This study highlights the potential of for therapeutic applications.
Turkish sage, a species traditionally used to improve cognition, has anticholinergic effects and is a potential natural treatment for Alzheimer's disease. This study aimed to understand the mechanism behind its neuroprotective effects and investigate the inhibitory effects of its major compound, rosmarinic acid, on enzymes related to Alzheimer's disease. Results showed that the infusion significantly decreased amyloid beta-induced cytotoxicity and exhibited promising inhibitory activity against key enzymes. The study provides proof of the infusion's potential as a natural treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
