The Therapeutic Potential of Phytomedicines from Brazilian Cerrado Herbs against Neurodegenerative Diseases | Biomedgrid

This short commentary is intended to briefly discuss the latest advances reported in literature about the use of native herbs from Brazilian Cerrado biome against neurodegenerative diseases. Henceforth, literature was surveyed concerning Cerrado`s rich biodiversity and the implications of the highly variable constitution of secondary metabolites of the plants of this region. Nonetheless, Cerrado herbs showcase remarkable antioxidant activity, as stated in literature, which is also associated to anticholinesterase properties, what implicates that some plants of this biome might find use in the therapeutics of neurodegenerative diseases.
