Rivastigmine tartrate (ENA 713; 0.5-2.5 mg/kg; IP; 60 min before the tests) significantly and dose-dependently improved the behavioral impairments caused by Aluminum .
Rivastigmine (0.5, 1 mg/kg/day; s.c; for 8 days) reduces by about 50% and 60% respectively, the concentration of IL-6 but not those of TNF-α and IL-1β in BALB/c OlaHsd male mice aged 8-9 weeks weighing 200–250 g with acute colitis.
Rivastigmine (1 mg/kg), but not (0.5 mg/kg), partially antagonized colon shrinkage and completely prevented bleeding. Treatment with rivastigmine (0.5 mg/kg) causes little change in these pathological manifestations, but rivastigmine (1 mg/kg) causes a partial restoration of the structure of the crypts and a reduction in sub-mucosal edema and cell infiltration. Rivastigmine (1 mg/kg) causes a 4.7% reduction in body weight at the end of the experiment.
