The effect of aqueous extract of Eugenia caryophyllus on brain acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity in rats was studied. Results indicate that the aqueous extract reduced the hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ACh) by AChE. This reducing effect was not due to the acidic nature of the extract and suggests that Eugenia caryophyllus contains some water soluble substance(s) with anti-choline esterase activity.
研究了丁子香水提取物对大鼠脑乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)活性的影响。结果表明,水提取物降低了AChE对乙酰胆碱(ACh)的水解作用。这种降低作用并非由于提取物的酸性性质,这表明丁子香含有一些具有抗胆碱酯酶活性的水溶性物质。
