Catalpol is a kind of iridoid compound, it has neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antiaging activities based on cell and animal models of AD. These findings indicate that catalpol may be a potential anti-AD drug. This paper aims to review the advances of catalpol effects on cell and animal models of AD and could provide clue for the research and development of AD drugs.
