Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative neurologic condition for which there is no known cure. Between 2002 and 2019, 99.6% of all drug candidates tried failed in achieving the goal of preventing or treating the development of Alzheimer’s disease. In view of the fact that many of the current FDA approved pharmacologic agents utilized in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease are directly derived from plants, a resurgence in research is underway to find phytochemicals capable of preventing and treating this devastating disease. Phytochemicals such as curcumin, saffron and lemon balm have efficacy in preventing and mitigating disease progression in Alzheimer’s dementia.
