Detailed chemo profiling of black tea showed the presence of theaflavins, different catechins, and amino acids viz., L-theanine and methylxanthines. A literature search showed a multitude of pharmacological activities diversity of black tea. Structural and anti-inflammatory activity relationship studies showed the anti-inflammatory potentials of benzotropolone moiety containing compounds, flavonoids, flavones, phenolics and methylxanthines e.g. caffeine, theobromine, theophylline. Black tea is a good source of several multifunctional pharmacophores and thus can combat neuroinflammation in AD providing neuroprotection from multidimensional perspectives.
