The current investigation's goals are to pharmacologically evaluate the neurotherapeutic role of bioactive compound Alpha Pinene (ALP)-loaded Self-emulsifying nano-formulation (SENF) in neurotoxin (Rotenone and the Industrial Solvent Trichloroethylene)- induced dopaminergic loss. It is believed that these models simulate important aspects of the molecular pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. The ALP-nano-formulation's anti-Parkinson's activity was compared to ALP suspension in Wistar rats after rotenone and trichloro ethylene-induced dopaminergic loss. Neurobehavioral and motor performances were measured on the 14 th , 21 st , and 28 th day in the rotenone model. However, in the trichloroethylene model, it was measured from the 4th to the 8th week. Significant neurobehavioral improvement has been found in ALP-SENF treated animals then untreated and animals treated with plain ALP suspension. Furthermore, biochemical tests reveal marked expression of catalase, glutathione, and superoxide dismutase, which significantly combat the (Oxidative stress) OS-induced neurodegeneration. The antioxidant effect of ALP-SENF likely includes free radicals neutralization and the activation of enzymes associated with antioxidant activity, leading to the enhancement of neurobehavioral abnormalities caused by rotenone and trichloroethylene.
