Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that leads to development of cognition and memory dysfunctions. Currently, there is no known cure for AD, although limited medications are approved for the management of disease condition. Various plant-based leads give new hope for considering phytoconstituents as anti-AD drugs. The Piper nigrum L. fruit extract was reported to have anti-Alzheimer's activity. It creates an interest in the finding of active moieties that may be accountable for anti-AD activity.
