Lately, different therapy strategies for treating or slowing the progression of Alzheimer's
disease are being analyzed. Moreover, the last two decades have seen a considerable research effort
directed towards discovering the causes of Alzheimer's disease with the ultimate hope of developing
safe and effective pharmacological treatments. In addition to the therapeutic strategies based on
targeted drugs, the regimens will require the simultaneous application of neuroprotective drugs.
Therefore, although there is currently no "cure" for Alzheimer's disease, a large number of potential
therapeutic strategies emerged lately. In this small mini-review we will selectively describe some of
the compounds derived from plants that could have a great potential in the treatment of various
diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. In this way, there are many plant species that have been
traditionally used for memory disorders. The differentiated results and powerful activity of these
extracts are making these neuroprotective strategies to be somehow plausible for the treatment of
Alzheimer's disease. In addition, these plants can be examined in order to isolate and identify their
active ingredients and this can serve as a starting point to find safer and more effective agents for
therapeutic use. On thing is certain: as the effective treatment options are limited, there is a demand
for new drugs. Thus, plant extracts or vegetal compounds could represent an important part in this
equation.
