Abstract
As a result of current therapeutic interventions and the progressive nature of diseases, a variety of side effects have emerged, prompting patients to seek alternative treatment. The role of medicinal plants in such situations has been advantageous due to their manifestation through various cellular and molecular mechanisms. Inhibition of monoamine oxidase enzyme is suspected to be a highly effective treatment for various neurological illnesses like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depression, social phobia, and panic disorders. The study of phytochemicals and plant extracts used as a traditional source of medication revealed that they possess vast potential for monoamine oxidase inhibition. The purpose of this review is to highlight the potential of plant extracts and their chemicals to inhibit monoamine oxidase enzymes. This communication mentions a number of potential plant species and phytoconstituents as monoamine oxidase inhibitors which can be further developed for the treatment of various neurological disorders.
