Scientists studied the effects of a water extract from an Ayurvedic plant on cognitive deficits, anxiety, and depression in aged mice. The extract improved cognition and reduced anxiety when administered in drinking water, while the effects were less significant when given in the diet.
Study tested honokiol on iPSC-derived neurons from an Alzheimer's patient to improve survival and culture time. Shows potential for therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer's disease research.
The researchers studied a traditional herbal formula called Da Chuanxiong (DCX) that improves blood circulation and protects the brain, potentially beneficial for treating Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI).
The study developed and evaluated transdermal patches loaded with hydro-alcoholic extract and essential oil of L. for dementia treatment. The patches showed good physicochemical properties, sustained drug release, and non-Fickian release mechanisms. They could improve patient compliance in Unani medicine.
Dendrobine, a compound extracted from Dendrobium nobile Lindl, has neuroprotective effects and potential in treating cognitive disorders, anxiety, depression, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and inflammation. It activates neuro synapses and neurotransmission pathways.
This study examined the bioavailability and antiepileptic activity of a plant extract from L. leaves. The extract showed good antiepileptic activity by delaying seizures, possibly due to the interaction of its compounds with the NMDA receptor.
Ganoderma lucidum, a medicinal mushroom, shows potential as an adjuvant for Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment. It can delay AD progression, improve cognitive function, and inhibit various mechanisms involved in AD pathology. More research and clinical trials are needed to fully understand its therapeutic potential.
Bitter orange leaves were extracted using different methods to compare their chemical composition. The essential oils showed antioxidant and antidiabetic activities, making them potential sources for future drugs.
