Abstract
Background
The prevalence of cognitive diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, poses a significant global health challenge due to the limited availability of effective therapeutic options. Recent years have witnessed a growing emphasis in research on the exploration of natural compounds and their derivatives as prospective therapeutic agents for cognitive impairments.
Main body Xanthotoxin, a furanocoumarin compound derived from botanical sources, exhibits promising therapeutic promise in several neurological conditions such as depression, neuronal inflammation, Alzheimer’s disease, vascular cognitive impairment, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. This potential stems from its notable neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory characteristics. The present study offers a comprehensive examination of the acquisition of XAT from both natural sources and synthetic means. It delves into the significance of XAT in the treatment of cognitive disorders and delineates potential avenues for future research in the domain of XAT and cognitive disorders.
Conclusion
Ongoing research and advancements in the field of XAT have the potential to enhance its use as a potent therapeutic intervention for cognitive impairments, consequently enhancing the holistic welfare of those afflicted by these incapacitating disorders.
