摘要
Ethanolic extract from the fruits of Pimpinella anisoides, an aromatic plant and a spice, exhibited activity against AChE and BChE, with IC50 values of 227.5 and 362.1 mu g/ml, respectively. The most abundant constituents of the extract were trans-anethole, (+)-limonene and (+)-sabinene. trans-Anethole exhibited the highest activity against AChE and BChE with IC50 values of 134.7 and 209.6 mu g/ml, respectively. The bicyclic monoterpene (+)-sabinene exhibited a promising activity against AChE (IC50 of 176.5 mu g/ml) and BChE (IC50 of 218.6 mu g/ml). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
