Abstract
This thesis examines the neuroprotective potential of biologically active compounds from Cistanchae plants in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Under current medical conditions, neurodegenerative diseases are becoming one of the key challenges in healthcare, causing disability and death among elderly populations. The study analyzes the main pharmacological components of Cistanchae plants (phenylethanoid glycosides, polysaccharides, iridoids) and their mechanisms of neuronal protection through antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory effects.
