Bioactivity | Saikosaponin C is a bioactive component found in radix bupleuri, targets amyloid beta and tau in Alzheimer's disease. Saikosaponin C inhibits the secretion of both Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42, and suppresses abnormal tau phosphorylation, but shows no effect on BACE1 activity and expression[1]. |
