The Miracle Moringa Oleifera Tree: A Bibliometric Review of Its Neuroprotective Properties

Introduction: With its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities, Moringa oleifera is gaining interest for its neuroprotective potential. This bibliometric analysis examines Moringa oleifera research trends, gaps, and future prospects, focusing on its function in cognitive deficits and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's. Topiramate and riluzole's neuroprotective effects are also discussed.; Materials and methods: Research trends in Moringa oleifera were examined using Scopus-indexed literature. The plant parts studied (leaves, seeds, roots), doses, and methods were key. The review included antiepileptic medication trials to complement their neuroprotective properties. Results and discussion: Antioxidant and phytochemical properties made Moringa oleifera a promising neuroprotectant, according to the review. However, dose reporting and plant part specification variations compromised findings' reliability and reproducibility. To maintain methodological consistency, dose-response studies, uniform reporting techniques, and interdisciplinary collaboration are future research topics. Antiepileptic medications like topiramate and riluzole modulate neurotransmitter systems and provide neuroprotection with natural products. Conclusions: This analysis emphasizes the necessity for rigorous research and standardized methods to enhance Moringa oleifera and related pharmacological compounds' therapeutic potential. Addressing these obstacles will improve findings' reliability and clinical application, enabling evidencebased neurological condition treatments. This research was conducted in January 2025.
