Objective To investigate the effects of Jiawei Wuzi Yanzong Pill and its components on central cholinergic system in the model mice with learning and memory disorders induced by scopolamine. Methods Mice were treated by Jiawei Wuzi Yanzong Pill and its components for 15 days and induced by ip scopolamine. After the experiment in Morris water maze, the content of acetylcholine and the activity of acetylcholinesterase from brains of mice were determined by colorimetry. Results Significant differences were observed between model group and naked group that the content of acetylcholine and the activity of acetylcholinesterase from brains of model mice were decreased (P 0.05). Conclusion Jiawei Wuzi Yanzong Pill and its components could improve the function of central cholinergic system by increasing the content of acetylcholine and the activity of acetylcholinesterase and possesses a certain preventive effects on mice with learning and memory disorders induced by scopolamine.
