Popis: Neurodegenerative disorders are one of the most terrible consequences of aging and damage due to unbalanced biochemical reactions occur in the body. Numbers of research has been conducted to digout the reason and possible therapeutic strategies against the neurodegenerative damage and many more are on the way to be studied. There are many commercial drugs available in the market to cure neurodegenerative disorders but with many side effects. Therefore, researchers are searching for key therapies with minimum side effects. Many phytochemicals attract the researchers due to promising therapeutic effects and least side effects. Nigella sativa is one among many herbal plants. The chemical constituents of the plants are also studied against many diseases like inflammatory, bacterial/fungal disease, oxidative stress, and neurodegenerative disorders. In this chapter, the authors have focused the therapeutic role of N. sativa and its chemicals against neurodegenerative disorders.
