Cistanches Herba
(family Orobanchaceae), commonly known as "desert ginseng" or Rou Cong Rong, is a global genus and commonly used for its neuroprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-oxidative, kidney
impotence
, laxative, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-tumor effects in traditional herbal formulations in North Africa, Arabic, and Asian countries. The major bioactive compound present in this plant is phenylethanoid glycosides. In recent years, there has been great important in scientific investigation of the neuropharmacological effects of the bioactive compounds. The
in vitro
and
in vivo
studies suggests these compounds demonstrate neuropharmacological activities against a wide range of complex nervous system diseases which occurs through different mechanisms include improving immunity function and kidney aging, anti-lipid peroxidation, scavenging free radical, inducing the activation of caspase-3 and
caspase-8
. This review aims to summaries the various neuropharmacological effects and mechanisms of
Cistanches Herba
extracts and related compounds, including its efficacy as a cure for Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease with reference to the published literature. Which provides guidance for further research on the clinical application of
