  1. Amelioration of Cognitive Deficit by Embelin in a Scopolamine-Induced Alzheimer's Disease-Like Condition in a Rat Model

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Frontiers in pharmacology 2018-06-25 Treatments

    Embelin (2,5-dihydroxy-3-undecyl-1,4-benzoquinone) is one of the active components (2.3%) found in Embelia ribes Burm fruits.

  2. The analogous β-carboline alkaloids, harmaline (HAL) and harmine (HAR), possess a variety of biological properties, including acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and many others, and have great potential for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Reversal of scopolamine-induced deficits with a single dose of donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2005-10-01 Treatments

    Robust effects of single-dose donepezil on cognition can be readily observed, with the use of a complex hidden maze learning task, both with and without a scopolamine-induced deficit model in healthy elderly adults.
