Anti-viral Effects of Pavetta indica Methanolic Extract and Acycloviron Behavioral and Biochemical Parameters in Streptozotocin-inducedAlzheimer's Disease in Rats

20241 citationMinia University

Abstract

In a dose-dependent manner, acyclovir and <i>Pavetta indica</i> methanolic extract treatments abrogated the streptozotocin-induced behavioral and neurological abnormalities in rats. The potential therapeutic effects of PIME and acyclovir administration in intracerebroventricular-streptozotocin-treated rats may be attributed to its potential antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. The current study suggests that <i>Pavetta indica</i> methanolic extract and acyclovir are promising therapeutic targets against Alzheimer's disease.
