Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective loss of dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta. The present study is carried out to investigate the effect of acute and chronic administration of aqueous extract of Lawsonia inermis Linn. leaves on haloperidol induced catalepsy in albino mice which is a useful animal model for screening drugs for ...

Corrosion behaviour of aluminium alloy inhibited by henna was investigated by using weight loss analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potendiodynamic polarization study. Lawsonia inermis or also known as henna was extracted by using ethyl acetate and methanol. The result from these characterization shows that henna extracted in ethyl aceta...
