Abstract
Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. It
is characterized by the depletion of striatal dopamine content and aggregation of alphasynuclein
in the substantia nigra (SN). It is possible to treat the symptoms of PD with a variety
of medications, but they often result in complications and are not able to cure or stop the progression
of the disease. Flavonoids (the phytocomponents present in almost all fruits and vegetables)
are the class of secondary metabolites that have generated a peak of interest because of
their medicinal properties, including a reduction in the risk of PD. Several flavonoids such as
quercetin, kaempferol, hesperitin, anthocyanin and many more have been reported for their anti-
Parkinson’s effect. This review deals with the neuroprotective benefits of different classes of
flavonoids against PD
