Anti-Inflammatory potentials of black tea compounds aiding Neuro-protection

This review aims to explore the anti-inflammatory potentials of black tea compounds for combating neuro-inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. Black tea has shown the presence of multifunctional pharmacophores that are responsible for its versatile pharmacology. Structural and anti-inflammatory activity relationship studies of benzotropolone moiety containing compounds of black tea, flavonoids, flavones, phenolic compounds and methylxanthines e.g. caffeine, theobromine, theophylline have been reviewed. Black tea compounds can combat neuro-inflammation in AD and can provide neuroprotection from multidimensional perspectives.
