Ethanolic extract from the fruits of Pimpinella anisoides, an aromatic plant and a spice, exhibited activity against AChE and BChE, with IC(50) values of 227.5 and 362.1 microg/ml, respectively. The most abundant constituents of the extract were trans-anethole, (+)-limonene and (+)-sabinene. trans-Anethole exhibited the highest activity against AChE and BChE with IC(50) values of 134.7 and 209.6 microg/ml, respectively. The bicyclic monoterpene (+)-sabinene exhibited a promising activity against AChE (IC(50) of 176.5 microg/ml) and BChE (IC(50) of 218.6 microg/ml).
茴芹属植物(一种芳香植物和香料)果实的乙醇提取物对乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)和丁酰胆碱酯酶(BChE)具有活性,其半数抑制浓度(IC50)值分别为227.5和362.1微克/毫升。提取物中含量最丰富的成分是反式茴香脑、(+)-柠檬烯和(+)-桧烯。反式茴香脑对AChE和BChE表现出最高活性,IC50值分别为134.7和209.6微克/毫升。双环单萜(+)-桧烯对AChE(IC50为176.5微克/毫升)和BChE(IC50为218.6微克/毫升)表现出有前景的活性。
