  Background: Dementia, predominantly caused by Alzheimer’s disease (60-70% of cases), represents a significant disease burden. As methoxyflavones from Kaempferia parviflora possess AChE-inhibition properties, synthetic methoxyflavones and their derivatives were chosen for their therapeutic potential in established zebrafish neurodegenerative models. Aim: To study the effect of methoxyflavone and its synthetic derivatives in scopolamine-induced memory deficit models of Zebrafish. Methodology: 12 groups of adult Danio rerio (10 fish per tank) were used. A stock solution of all three test drugs (7-methoxyflavone, 7,4’ dimethoxyflavone, and 7,2’,4’ trimethoxyflavone-in doses of 5,10,20 mg), standard Rivastigmine 1.5 mg/kg, and scopolamine 200 μM were prepared & diluted to..
