Abstract:
Alzheimer disease is a progressive disorder that causes brain cells to waste away degenerate. Alzheimer disease caused of dementia and continuous decline in thinking, behavioral and social skills that disrupts a person ability to function independently.

Medicinal plants used as alternative medicine in world cultures, since older times by healers, which used them in remedy of many diseases. It known that many medicinal plants played an important role as alone, and others used combined with chemical one. Egyptian flora is famous since ancient times. Medicinal plants contains chemical compounds that effected in many diseases, such as essential oils, alkaloids, terpenes and glycosides. The ancient Egyptian healers recorded a greatest knowledge about the drugs that used for many diseases, and many of them still used in medicine until now.
There is many programs established in Egypt as a strategy to identify potentially active substances. High methods of techniques allow for the analysis of large numbers of extracts in a relatively short period and considered one of the most efficient ways of finding new leads from natural products.
Capsicum annuum, Citrus limon (L.) Burm, Daucus carota, Ficus carica, Psidium guajav, and Solanum lycopersicum are a few of the Egyptian medicinal plants will be clarified in the presentation.
