植物源性乙酰胆碱酯酶抑制生物碱治疗阿尔茨海默病
摘要:抑制乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)已成为治疗阿尔茨海默病(AD)最常用的策略之一。乙酰胆碱酯酶抑制剂(AChE- 1)不仅产生短期的症状效应,而且还可以在该疾病的其他病理机制中发挥作用(例如,淀粉样蛋白-β斑块的形成),这重新引起了人们对发现此类抑制剂的兴趣。目前针对阿尔茨海默病的五种处方治疗方法中有四种是疼痛- 1。天然生物碱如加兰他明或生物碱相关合成化合物(如利瓦斯汀)被认为对轻度至中度AD患者有益。然而,有必要发现更有效的化合物,因此,植物仍然可以成为新的乙酰胆碱- 1的潜在来源。本文综述了天然生物碱作为潜在的乙酰胆碱- 1新药的研究进展。
