Abstract

Neurodegenerative disorders are a heterogeneous group of diseases and are among the most invaliding syndromes for humans. The aim of this manuscript is to review what has been reported so far in the literature about coumarins as a novel class of pharmacologically active compounds in chemoprevention and/or therapy of these diseases.
