Bioactivity (-)-Huperzine A (Huperzine A) is an alkaloid isolated from Huperzia serrata, with neuroprotective activity. (-)-Huperzine A is a potent, highly specific, reversible and blood-brain barrier penetrant inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), with an IC50 of 82 nM. (-)-Huperzine A also is non-competitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate (NMDA) receptor. (-)-Huperzine A is developed for the research of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease[1][2][3][4][5].
Invitro (-)-Huperzine A (1 µM; 2 hours) attenuates Aβ23-35 (20 µM)-induced neuronal injury[2].(-)-Huperzine A (100 μM) reversibly inhibits the NMDA-induced current (IC50=126 μM) in whole-cell voltage-clamp recording in CA1 pyramidal neurons acutely dissociated from rat hippocampus[3].
