Evaluation of Anti-amnesic Activity of Ethanolic Extract of Averrhoa carambola Leaves

Abstract

The current research aims to screen the anti-amnesic and neuroprotective efficacy of ethanolic extract of Averrhoa carambola (EEAC) leaves. To fulfill the above purpose, phytochemical screening, quantity of total phenolic, flavonoids, behavioral study, biochemical study and histopathological study were performed. The results of phytochemical screening, quantities of total phenolic flavonoids, behavioral study, biochemical study and histopathological studies revealed the anti-amnesic and neuroprotective activity of the EEAC. EEAC shows anti-amnesic and neuroprotective activity due to numerous phytoconstituents and high amounts of phenolic and flavonoids. The results of this study show that the EEAC may be useful for managing amnesia.
