Cholinesterase inhibitors from heartwood of Artocarpus fulvicortex F. M. Jarret (Moraceae)
Masuri Kama Kamaruddin Shah1, Hasnah Mohd Sirat2, Shajarahtunnur Jamil3.
Cholinesterase inhibition activities were screened on crude extracts and isolated
compounds of the heartwood of Artocarpus fulvicortex. Phytochemical studies on the
heartwood of A. fulvicortex have resulted in the isolation of one flavonoid, one stilbenoid
and two triterpenes. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis as
catechin (1), oxyresveratrol (2), lupeol-3-acetate (3) and friedelin (4). All isolates were
evaluated for the first time for anti-cholinesterase activity. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase
(AChE), tested by Ellman’s method and modified TLC bioautographic assay showed
catechin (1) and oxyresvetratrol (2) were active agents with detection limit of 2 mM. The
microplate assay was carried out using butyrylcholinesterase (BChe) to further confirmed
that catechin (1) and oxyresvetratrol (2) displayed positive cholinesterase activity with IC50
values 50.0 mM and 6.25 mM respectively in dose dependent manner.
