Plants-Derived Neuroprotective Agents: Cutting the Cycle of Cell Death through Multiple Mechanisms

Figure 11

Major targets for plant-derived neuroprotective agents. Cutting the cycle of neuronal cell death through general anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms has been shown to play the key role in neuroprotection by natural products. Ameliorating the deleterious effect of protein aggregation such as Aβ and reversing the transmitter deficit associated with NDs through multiple mechanisms have been well documented for many plant-derived neuroprotective agents.
