Olive oil, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, contains trace amounts oleuropein, polyphenolic compound and its active metabolite hydroxytyrosol, which exhibit significant neuroprotective effects by reducing oxidative stress brain inflammation. These properties make them promising for managing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. This review synthesizes current literature on chemistry, biosynthesis, activities oleuropein emphasizing their antioxidant anti-inflammatory effects. Research indicates that hydroxytyrosol is bioavailable rapidly distributed throughout body, including tissue, due to ability cross blood-brain barrier. In contrast, requires metabolic conversion bioavailability. Both compounds have been shown in preclinical animal studies mitigate stress, promote autophagy, facilitate clearance amyloid-beta aggregates. Moreover, they found alleviate mitochondrial damage dysfunction, are critical factors neurodegeneration. human studies, improved cognitive function, reduced neuroinflammation, overall health. The mechanisms underlying these include restoration redox balance modulation inflammatory pathways aging brain. Despite findings, clinical trials needed assess long-term safety efficacy settings. Understanding role neuroprotection could lead effective interventions preventing or slowing decline associated with diseases. Overall, represent compelling area study within realm antioxidants application neuroprotection.
