Screening models for Anti-Amnesic activity evaluation: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics (IJRPP) - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. The disease gets worse as it develops - it is a progressive disease. There is no current cure for Alzheimer's, although there are ways of slowing down its advance and helping patients with some of the symptoms. Alzheimer's is also a terminal disease; it is incurable and causes death. Evidence suggests that compounds especially from natural sources are capable of providing protection against dementia. It is necessary to Screen out medicinal plants for their anti-amnesic potential. Therefore an attempt has been made to review different models for estimating anti amnesic properties of natural products from medicinal plants.
