huperzine a and Cognition Disorders

huperzine a has been researched along with Cognition Disorders in 18 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.

( Chiu, HF; D'Arcy, C; Li, XB; Meng, X; Sun, F; Ungvari, GS; Xiang, YQ; Xiang, YT; Zheng, W, 2016)
" To avoid these treatment complications but safely protect against DFP-induced seizures and other CNS toxicity, we adopted the strategy of administering mice with (i) small doses of huperzine A (HUP), a reversible and long-lasting (half-life approximately 5 h) inhibitor of AChE, and (ii) imidazenil (IMI), a potent positive allosteric modulator of GABA action selective for alpha(5)-containing GABA(A) receptors."3.74The combination of huperzine A and imidazenil is an effective strategy to prevent diisopropyl fluorophosphate toxicity in mice. ( Auta, J; Costa, E; Guidotti, A; Kadriu, B; Kozikowski, AP; Pibiri, F; Pinna, G, 2008)
"serrata extract exerts any effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD) models."1.42Japanese Huperzia serrata extract and the constituent, huperzine A, ameliorate the scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment in mice. ( Abe, N; Hara, H; Ishisaka, M; Ohba, T; Oyama, M; Shimazawa, M; Tabira, T; Tsuruma, K; Yoshino, Y, 2015)
"Huperzine A treatment significantly ameliorated all these phenomena."1.36Huperzine a improves chronic inflammation and cognitive decline in rats with cerebral hypoperfusion. ( Tang, XC; Wang, J; Zhang, HY, 2010)
"Huperzine A treatment (0."1.32[Huperzine A attenuates cognitive deficits and brain injury after hypoxia-ischemic brain damage in neonatal rats]. ( Shao, XM; Tang, XC; Wang, LS; Zhou, J, 2003)
"The ability of huperzine A to attenuate memory deficits and neuronal damage after ischemia might be beneficial in cerebrovascular type dementia."1.31Huperzine A attenuates cognitive deficits and hippocampal neuronal damage after transient global ischemia in gerbils. ( Tang, XC; Zhang, HY; Zhou, J, 2001)
