Abstract
The purpose of this study was to show the preventive properties of the botulin (Bet) and its combination with cyclodextrin in a model of neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's disease (AD) in rats. Betulin was obtained from birch bark using standard methodology. The AD model was induced by administering aluminum chloride AlCl3 (200 mg/kg/day) to animals for 120 days. All animals were divided into 4 groups: the control group (sham operation), the second - the AD model (Alz) without prevention with betulin, the third - the Alz+Bet receiving betulin (100 mg/kg/day, i.g., during the last 50% of the experimental days), and the Alz+Bet Complex receiving betulin in complex with cyclodextrin (100 mg/kg/day, i.g., during the last 50% of the experimental days). We showed that betulin in complex with cyclodextrin improve the spatial memory and lowered levels of the TNF-α, APLP2 and β-amyloid in rats with AlCl3-induced AD. We conclude that betulin has neuroprotective properties which may form the basis for the development of a new pharmaceutical that is effective in both the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
期刊介绍:
The international journal of the Polish Pharmaceutical Society is published in 6 issues a year. The journal offers Open Access publication of original research papers, short communications and reviews written in English, in all areas of pharmaceutical sciences. The following areas of pharmaceutical sciences are covered: Analysis, Biopharmacy, Drug Biochemistry, Drug Synthesis, Natural Drugs, Pharmaceutical Technology, Pharmacology and General.
A bimonthly appearing in English since 1994, which continues “Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica”, whose first issue appeared in December 1937. The war halted the activity of the journal’s creators. Issuance of “Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica” was resumed in 1947. From 1947 the journal appeared irregularly, initially as a quarterly, then a bimonthly. In the years 1963 – 1973 alongside the Polish version appeared the English edition of the journal. Starting from 1974 only works in English are published in the journal. Since 1995 the journal has been appearing very regularly in two-month intervals (six books a year). The journal publishes original works from all fields of pharmacy, summaries of postdoctoral dissertations and laboratory notes.
