b-biotype bemisia tabaci is a severe insect pest worldwide in many ornamental, agricultural, and horticultural crops. control of this insect is obstructed by resistance to many acetylcholinesterase (ache)-inhibiting insecticides, such as organophosphates and carbamates. in the present work, we evaluated the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of six monoterpenoids namely α-pinene, terpineo...

linarin is a flavone glycoside in the plants flos chrysanthemi indici, buddleja officinalis, cirsium setosum, mentha arvensis and buddleja davidii, and has been reported to possess analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. in this paper, linarin was investigated for its ache inhibitory potential both in vitro and ex vivo. ellman’s colorimetric method was used for...

In the present work we carried out a phytochemical and biological investigation on three endemic Hypericum species, i.e. Hypericum thymbrifolium, Hypericum spectabile and Hypericum pseudolaeve from Anatolia in order to discover new sources of natural compounds for the treatment of inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders. HPLC-DAD analysis indicated that two naphthodianthrones (pseudohyperi...

Background: Since cannabis has been legally allowed for medicinal purposes in many countries, it has become more interesting issue, particularly in neurologic disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is one of the mechanisms for the treatment of AD. Objectives: The present study aimed to establish a method for preparation of cannabinoids-rich extrac...

alcoholic extracts of 8 different types of seaweeds from iran's persian gulf were tested for their antimalarial and acetylcholinesterase enzyme (ache) inhibitory activities for the first time. a modified ellman and ingkaninan method was used for measuring ache inhibitory activity in which galanthamine was used as the reference. the antimalarial assay was performed using microculture radioisotop...

Background and objectives: Dracocephalum species are mentioned in Iranian traditional medicine for enhancement of cognitive performance. In the present study, the acetyl cholinesterase inhibitory and butyryl cholinesterase inhibitory activities as well as the anti-oxidant and anti-tyrosinase effects of three Iranian Dracocephalum species (D. kotschyi,...
