The aim this study is investigate the neuroprotective potential RT. For purpose, assayed Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) vivo model, through vitro assays using monoamine oxidase A, tyrosinase acetylcholinesterase enzymes. reduces juglone-induced oxidative stress worms increases lifespan prevents paralysis C. CL4176, a model Alzheimer’s disease; able inhibit enzymes such acetylcholinesterase, A vitro. Together these results demonstrate that good candidate with for development new products pharmaceutical interests.
