Abstract

Verbascum, Scrophularia, and Buddleja species have been used in traditional medicines for centuries in almost all parts of the world. It has been demonstrated that the plants used in traditional medicine for mental health problems have shown activity in bioassays for selected targets matching their traditional usage. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the antioxidant activities and antioxidant mechanisms of these Scrophulariaceae and Buddlejaceae plants and their secondary metabolites in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
