BACKGROUND
Huperzia squarrosa (Forst.) Trevis is used in traditional medicine for improving memory deficits. Alkaloids, triterpenoids, flavonoids are main bioactive compounds of Huperzia squarrosa (Forst.) Trevis.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant, AChE inhibitory activities
Huperzia serrata has been used as a Chinese folk medicine for many years. It contains huperzine A, which has a protective effect against memory deficits in animal models; however, it is unclear if H. serrata extract exerts any effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD) models. We used H. serrata collected
By using extracellular recordings of field potential, the exact pathway by which the endogenous ACh influencing the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in CA1 area was analysed in slices of rat hippocampus. The results showed that: (1) the application of (-) huperzine A, an AChE inhibitor
