    Abstract Rosmarinus officinalis L. (RO, rosemary) is a well-known medicinal, aromatic, and culinary herb with traditional use in European folk medicine against memory deficits and neurodegenerative disorders. This review highlights the different neuroprotective activities of RO investigated in both preclinical and clinical studies, as well as in silico molecular docking of bioactive compounds found in RO. The neuroprotective effect of RO was searched through databases including PubMed, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and Clinical Trials using the keywords "Rosmarinus officinalis, rosemary, neuroprotective effect, memory, cognitive dysfunction, Alzheimer's disease." RO, which is rich in secondary metabolites that have memory-enhancing potential, has displayed neuroprotection through different molecular mechanisms such as inhibition of cholinesterase, modulation of dopaminergic and oxytocinergic systems, mediation of oxidative and inflammatory proteins, involved in neuropathic pain, among others. RO extracts exhibited antidepressant and anxiolytic activities. Also, the plant has shown efficacy in scopolamine-, lipopolysaccharide-, AlCl3 -, and H2O2 -induced amnesia as well as amyloid-beta- and ibotenic acid-induced neurotoxicity and chronic constriction injury-related oxidative stress memory and cognitive impairments in animal models. A few clinical studies available supported the neuroprotective effects of RO and its constituents. However, more clinical studies are needed to confirm results from preclinical studies further and should include not only placebo-controlled studies but also studies including positive controls using approved drugs. Many studies underlined that constituents of RO may have the potential for developing drug candidates against Alzheimer's disease that possess high bioavailability, low toxicity, and enhanced penetration to CNS, as revealed from the experimental and molecular docking analysis.

    Abstract Natural substances are known to have strong protective effects against neurodegenerative diseases. Among them, phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids, come to the fore with their neuroprotective effects. Since quercetin, which is found in many medicinal plants and foods, is also taken through diet, its physiological effects on humans are imperative. Many studies have been published up to date on the neuroprotective properties of quercetin, a flavanol derivative. However, there is no review published so far summarizing the effect of quercetin on the cholinesterase (ChE) enzymes related to the cholinergic hypothesis, which is one of the pathological mechanisms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, ChE inhibitors, regardless of natural or synthetic, play a vital role in the treatment of AD. Although the number of studies on the ChE inhibitory effect of quercetin is limited, it deserves to be discussed in a review article. With this sensitivity, the neuroprotective effect of quercetin against AD through ChE inhibition was scrutinized in the current review study. In addition, studies on the bioavailability of quercetin and its capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier and how this capacity and bioavailability can be increased were given. Generally, studies containing data published in recent years were obtained from search engines such as PubMed, Scopus, and Medline and included herein. Consequently, quercetin should not be considered as a fashionable natural compound and should be identified as a promising compound, especially with increased bioavailability, for the treatment of AD.

    Abstract Kombucha, originated in China 2000  years ago, is a sour and sweet-tasted drink, prepared traditionally through fermentation of black tea. During the fermentation of kombucha, consisting of mainly acidic compounds, microorganisms, and a tiny amount of alcohol, a biofilm called SCOBY forms. The bacteria in kombucha has been generally identified as Acetobacteraceae. Kombucha is a noteworthy source of B complex vitamins, polyphenols, and organic acids (mainly acetic acid). Nowadays, kombucha is tended to be prepared with some other plant species, which, therefore, lead to variations in its composition. Pre-clinical studies conducted on kombucha revealed that it has desired bioactivities such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anti-hypercholestorelomic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, etc. Only a few clinical studies have been also reported. In the current review, we aimed to overhaul pre-clinical bioactivities reported on kombucha as well as its brief compositional chemistry. The literature data indicate that kombucha has valuable biological effects on human health.
