Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease leading to memory loss and cognitive decline, primarily due to the loss of cholinergic neurons.
- Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI), including plant-derived drugs like huperzine and galanthamine, are currently FDA-approved for treating mild to moderate AD.
- A study assessed the AChE inhibitory effects of 26 traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, revealing six with significant dose-dependent activity, indicating promising potential for new AD treatments.
