A Review on Potential Mechanisms of Terminalia chebula in Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease is currently treated with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) and NMDA receptor antagonists, which have drawbacks. A medicinal plant called Terminalia chebula has been studied for its potential as a therapeutic alternative due to its biochemicals, including hydrolysable tannins, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids. The use of this plant was reviewed in various databases, and it was found that T. chebula extracts and its constituents have AChEI and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, all of which are relevant to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
