Neuroprotective Effect of Fagopyrum dibotrys Extract against Alzheimer's Disease.

The study investigated the effects of a traditional herbal medicine, containing high levels of polyphenolic antioxidants, on Alzheimer's disease (AD). The extract showed multifunctional properties on AD-related pathologies in mice, such as reducing amyloid deposits and neurotoxicity, and inhibiting microhaemorrhage and reactive microglia. In vitro studies also showed that the extract promoted A-peptide fibrils disaggregation and inhibited neurotoxicity. These results suggest that the herbal extract may have therapeutic potential against AD.
