Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease characterized with mainly cognitive impairments, and the number of elderly having AD is continuously increasing. Objective: To summarize the pathogenesis of AD and the therapeutic effects of flavonoids on related inflammatory processes. Main ideas: Flavonoids have been shown to alleviate effects of AD both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion: The clinical significance of these research summaries lay a potential groundwork for the development of new drugs targeting AD treatment.
