Abstract
Objective: The current study aimed at the investigation of the effectiveness of ethanolic and methanolic extract of Polygonum glabrum in aluminum chloride-induced Alzheimer’s disease in experimental rats.
 Methods: The behavioral parameters evaluated by following methods such as Morris water maze test, radial arm maze test, and active avoidance test. Biochemical parameters were also estimated such as acetylcholine and acetylcholine esterase.
 Results: Polygonum glabrum extract was instituted to be neuroprotective against AlCl3-induced toxicity. Enhanced learning and memory were allied to the ingestion of extract in rats. Al overload, acetylcholinesterase enzyme hyperactivity is responsible for Alzheimer’s disease which is neutralized or reduced with treatment of extract, which might be due to the synergistic action of its active constituents. Ethanolic extract was shown slightly higher efficacy as compared to methanolic extract.
 Conclusion: Based on these current findings, it is suggested that lowering Aβ is an unproven strategy, and it may be time to refocus on other targets for the treatment of this disease, including pathological forms of tau.

Alzheimer’s disease is considered to be in responsible of around 60% of all mental disorder in older adults or moderately aged [1] and influence in more than of 5 million Americans, a number assessed to augmentation to 7.7 million by means of 2030.Alzheimer’s disease is caused because of aggregation of misfolded proteins buildup of deposits of fibrillary amyloid in selective areas of the central nervous system

Summary
Alzheimer’s disease is considered to be in responsible of around 60% of all mental disorder in older adults or moderately aged [1] and influence in more than of 5 million Americans, a number assessed to augmentation to 7.7 million by means of 2030.Alzheimer’s disease is caused because of aggregation of misfolded proteins buildup of deposits of fibrillary amyloid in selective areas of the central nervous system. Alzheimer’s disease is considered to be in responsible of around 60% of all mental disorder in older adults or moderately aged [1] and influence in more than of 5 million Americans, a number assessed to augmentation to 7.7 million by means of 2030. Alzheimer’s disease leads in memory loss, unusual behavior, personality changes, and loss of the capability to thinking. Disease exhibits short-term memory loss, fail to retain information names and addresses, not able to learn novel information, mood swings, as the circumstance develops, transform becomes more prominent, and persons even forget way to home. Most established treatment strategy of Alzheimer’s disease is inhibitors of cholinesterase, inactivate acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) to augment the acetylcholine levels in brain. There is no perfect drug for Alzheimer’s disease treatment, besides only relieve the disease symptoms. There is no perfect drug for Alzheimer’s disease treatment, besides only relieve the disease symptoms. [3] Herbal medicine gives a substitute option to alter symptoms and development of AD
