The number of people living with dementia is expected to rise from 55 million in 2019 to 139 million in 2050, according to a report by WHO. Treatments and potential cures for Alzheimer’s have been researched for a long time now. Conventional drugs, while providing symptomatic relief, have often fallen short of halting the relentless progression of this neurodegenerative disorder. This new two-volume set, Neuro-Nutraceuticals and Drug Discovery and Delivery in Alzheimer’s Disease, 2-volume set, represents a collective effort to delve into the potential of nature’s pharmacopeia in our battle against Alzheimer’s disease. The editors posit that essential insights into the intricacies of the disease are the foundation for subsequent discussions on potential therapeutic interventions.

Volume 2: Strategies to Unlock the Brain’s Fortress offers a comprehensive exploration into the cutting-edge strategies for the pursuit of effective Alzheimer’s management. The first section of this volume is dedicated to a holistic exploration of nutraceuticals and their pivotal role in managing Alzheimer’s disease, serving as a guide to the diverse array of neuro-nutraceuticals and providing insights into their mechanisms, efficacy, and potential integration into holistic Alzheimer’s management strategies. The chapter authors look at natural antioxidant therapeutics, natural steroidal phytopharmaceuticals and Terpenes (aromatic compounds found in many plants), anti-apoptotic natural products, polysaccharides, neuro-protective role of vitamin D, non-flavonoidal agents for the effective treatment of Alzheimer’s. Recent developments and advancements in the delivery of nutraceuticals are explored as well, looking at nanotechnology and advanced drug delivery systems for therapeutic interventions in Alzheimer’s disease.

Together, these volumes not only reflect the current state of knowledge but also pave the way for future exploration in the field. Neuro-Nutraceuticals and Drug Discovery and Delivery in Alzheimer’s Disease will enlighten readers, whether seasoned researchers, practitioners, or advanced students, with a wealth of scientific knowledge gained through the cutting-edge research and in-depth exploration of the therapeutic potential of nature’s offerings and shall contribute to the ongoing efforts in managing dementia and cognitive disorders.
