EVALUATION OF ANTI-PARKINSON’S ACTIVITY OF CYAMOPSIS TETRAGONOLOBA METHANOL PLANT EXTRACT WITH BEHAVIORAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS

In the present study, we evaluated the Anti-parkinson’s activity of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba methanol plant pod extract by Haloperidol Induced Catalepsy and Tacrine induced vacuous jaw movements for behavioral parameters and in-vivo assays to estimate neurochemical parameters like (GSH, LPO, and SOD). The behavioral analysis performed using Haloperidol Induced Catalepsy produces Parkinson’s disease (PD) like symptoms, has been shown to reduce the catalepsy significantly (P<0.001) with Cyamopsis tetragonoloba methanol plant pod extract (200 and 400 mg/kg) doses. Tacrine-induced jaw movements and bursts symptoms closely resembling the PD symptoms shown to reduce treatment with plant extract and helped to manage the uncontrolled movements. The biochemical parameters like Lipid peroxidation (LPO), Glutathione (GSH), and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) were assessed using control, standard, and 200 and 400 mg/kg Cyamopsis tetragonoloba extract, results revealed that rats treated with plant extracts had increased levels of GSH and SOD which was found to be lower in the patients of PD and further plant extract analysis found efficient in reducing the LPO activity which helps to decrease the overall effect of oxidative stress in brain tissues and relieves the symptoms of PD. The studies proved that Cyamopsis tetragonoloba methanol pod extract possesses significant Anti-parkinson’s activity and helpful in treating motor dysfunction and reducing oxidative stress, which may be associated with its antioxidant potential.
