Levodopa and Plant-Derived Bioactive Compounds in Parkinson's Disease: Mechanisms, Efficacy, and Future Perspectives. [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
Plant‐derived compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids exhibit neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory activities in Parkinson's disease models. Unlike levodopa, they provide disease‐modifying benefits by targeting α‐synuclein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation.
