Acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase inhibitory activities of Becc. ex Martelli extract.

Plants in the genus Pistacia represent valuable natural resources for neuroprotective research based on ethnomedicinal knowledge. While other Pistacia species have been extensively studied, () has received limited attention. This study aimed to characterise the phenolic compounds in extract using HPLC-DAD-MS/MS and evaluate its neuroprotective potential by assessing its ability to inhibit important central nervous system (CNS) enzymes-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and monoamine oxidases (MAO-A and MAO-B).
