Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological ailment that affects older people and causes a steady decline in their cognitive function. The cognitive impairments found are presumed to be the result of synapse disruption and neurochemical deficits. Several neurochemical abnormalities have been found throughout progressive aging, and these have been connected to cognitive dysfunction seen in the sporadic stage of AD. There are various hypotheses explaining AD, such as aberrant deposits of amyloid β (Aβ) protein in the extracellular spaces of neurons, production of twisted fibers of tau proteins inside neurons, cholinergic neuron damage, inflammation, oxidative stress, and so on, and many anti-AD therapeutics have been developed based on these hypotheses. While current pharmacological treatments assist in relieving the symptoms of AD and enhance a patient's quality of life, they do not halt or cure the disease. Presently, targeted drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) for AD therapy is hampered by the difficulties posed by blood-brain interfaces surrounding the CNS, reducing therapeutic bioavailability. Among innovative ways to overcome these restrictions and successfully de
