Abstract:
| Natural products serve an
indisputably important role in the development of therapeutics for
treating a variety of neurological and mental conditions. Many of the
compounds used today as neurobiologically active, were discovered in
nature or modified from natural compounds, others have been synthesized
only after careful study of the biological molecules involved in the
various diseases and disorders that affect the brain. Humans have used
a variety of these natural compounds for centuries, the preparation
methods and dispensation of the compounds have been known to
communities, but have not received adequate recognition because of a
lack of careful and systematic documentation and scientific evidence of
their efficacy. We are presenting 5 scientific research studies to
demonstrate the characterization and therapeutic uses of some natural
compounds. 1. Dr. Okeowo, "Methyl jasmonate characterization in stress-related disorders". 2. Dr. Biney, "Semi-synthetic derivatives of plant diterpene xylopic acid as scaffolds for novel antidepressants". 3. Dr. Da Silva, "Ethnopharmacology of neuroprotective compounds in the state of Bahia, Brazil". 4. Dr. Adebowale, "Exploring derivatives of nicotine as novel targets to inhibit PLK-1-PBD to modulate brain tumors". 5. Dr. Da¡vila-Garcia, "Cannabis and its derivatives; A historical persective of a therapeutic treasure chest". |
