| Description | Cassiaside is a naphthyl ketone glycoside that inhibits BACE1 (IC50= 4.45 μM; Ki=9.85 μM).Cassiaside exhibits significant hepatoprotective effects against galactosamine injury and has potential anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) activity. |
| In vitro | The numbers of revertants per plate decreased significantly when this extract was added to the assay system using Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and/or TA98. The MeOH extract was then sequentially partitioned with CH2Cl2, n-BuOH and H2O. The CH2Cl2 and n-BuOH fractions possessed antimutagenic activity but the H2O fraction was inactive. Neither the MeOH extract nor its fractions were capable of inhibiting the direct-acting mutagen N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine suggesting that these fractions may prevent the metabolic activation of AFB1 or scavenge the electrophilic intermediate capable of inducing mutations[1] |
