(±)-Huperzine A

(±)-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 Alzheimer's 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-κB nuclear localization and activation. (±)-Huperzine A is a potential therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease.
