b-secretase

1. Aloenin (Aloenin A) and aloe-emodin are active principles for inhibition of c-ADH and c-ALDH activities in vitro.

Sophoflavescenol is a mixed inhibitor of PDE5 with a K(i) value of 0.005 microM. Sophoflavescenol has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and apoptotic effects , these effects might contribute to the antitumor activity without severe side effects. Sophoflaves

Tenuifolin has no inherent toxicity to either the transfected or wild type cells at the effective concentrations, it inhibits amyloid-β secretion in vitro.

1. Epiberberine may be caused drug interactions based on CYP2D6 enzyme. 2. Epiberberine has anti-adipogenic effect is mediated by downregulation of the Raf MEK1 ERK1 2 and AMPKα Akt pathways during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation. 3. Epiberberine, as the brightest FSA emitter among the alkaloids, can also serve as an efficient conformation probe for HTG DNA and discriminate the DNA G-quadruplex from the RNA counterpart.

Aloeresin D, a natural chromone glycoside, inhibits β-Secretase (BACE1) activity (IC50: 39 μM).

8-Geranyloxypsoralen inhibits α2-secretase (BACE1) activity in non-competitive manner, with the IC(50) values <25.0 μM, it can induce vasorelaxation on rat arterial tissues. 8-Geranyloxypsoralen possesses nematicidal activities, the median lethal concentrations (LC(50)) is 188.3 mg L against B. xylophilus and is 117.5 mg L against P. redivivus.

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.

Scoulerine is an inhibitor of ß-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1(BACE1). Scoulerine a potent antimitotic compound that inhibits proliferation, arrests cell cycle, and induces apoptosis in cancer cells.
