huperzine a and Amyloid Deposits

huperzine a has been researched along with Amyloid Deposits in 3 studies

huperzine A: RN given refers to 5R-(5alpha,9beta,11E)-isomer; structure given in first source
huperzine A : A sesquiterpene alkaloid isolated from a club moss Huperzia serrata that has been shown to exhibit neuroprotective activity. It is also an effective inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and has attracted interest as a therapeutic candidate for Alzheimer's disease.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Huperzine A (HupA) is a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD)."1.38Huperzine A alleviates synaptic deficits and modulates amyloidogenic and nonamyloidogenic pathways in APPswe/PS1dE9 transgenic mice. ( Tang, XC; Wang, Y; Zhang, HY, 2012)
