Abstract

Polyphenolics and other phytochemicals may have a role in the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer disease. Targets of therapy in Alzheimer disease include neurotransmitter deficits, beta amyloid neurotoxicity, oxidative damage, and inflammation, to name a few. Challenges to the development of phytochemical and other neuroprotectant therapy in Alzheimer disease include the inability to measure pathology in living patients and the challenge of detecting modification of an indolent disease course. These challenges are partially surmounted by the use of animal models and of biomarkers of disease. This review describes currently available animal models and biomarkers and surveys clinical trials of phytochemical therapies that are recently completed or currently under way. Both animal studies and clinical trials of Ginkgo biloba are described, as well as a trial of Uncaria tomentosa that has not been previously reported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
