Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive
cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired daily functioning. The etiology of AD is
complex and multifactorial, involving various pathological mechanisms such as the accumulation
of amyloid-beta plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress.
As the global prevalence of AD continues to rise, there is a growing interest in identifying potential
therapeutic interventions to prevent or slow down the progression of the disease. Resveratrol,
a natural polyphenolic compound found in various plant sources such as grapes, berries, and
peanuts, has gained considerable attention due to its potential neuroprotective effects. Numerous
preclinical studies utilizing in vitro and animal models have investigated the impact of resveratrol
on AD pathology and associated cognitive impairments. This review aims to provide a comprehensive
summary of the current research on the role of resveratrol in AD. In conclusion,
resveratrol holds promise as a potential therapeutic agent for AD due to its ability to target multiple
pathological processes involved in the disease. Further research, including well-designed
clinical trials with larger sample sizes, is needed to fully elucidate the efficacy, optimal dosage,
and long-term effects of resveratrol in AD patients. Nevertheless, resveratrol remains an intriguing
compound with neuroprotective properties and may contribute to the development of novel
therapeutic approaches for AD in the future.
