  • Scientific Description
    (+/-)-Huperzine A, an active Lycopodium alkaloid extracted from traditional Chinese herb, is a potent, selective and reversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor and has been widely used in China for the treatment of Alzheimers disease (AD). IC50 value: Target: AChE (+/-)-Huperzine A exhibited protective effects against d-gal-induced hepatotoxicity and inflamm-aging by inhibiting AChE activity and via the activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. The (+/-)-Huperzine A mechanism might be involved in the inhibition of DAMPs-mediated NF-kappaB nuclear localization and activation. (+/-)-Huperzine A is a potential therapeutic agent for Alzheimers disease.
