Madhuca longifolia, commonly known as the mahua tree, has been traditionally used in medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and antimicrobial properties. Its active compounds help in managing diabetes, alleviating cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease. Nonetheless, the exact neuroprotective mechanism of Madhuca longifolia against Alzheimer's disease remains unclear.

In the absence of an experimentally designed protein molecule, homology modelling was performed. Through homology modelling, different CALHM1 models were generated and validated through Rampage.

Different flavonoids and alkaloids of were used as an inhibitor to target the protein. The current study was carried out to explore the binding patterns of flavanoids and alkaloids against Acetylcholinesterase (PDB ID: 4PQE) and Butyrylcholinesterase (PDB ID: 1P0I) using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations approach.
