huperzine a and Poisoning

huperzine a has been researched along with Poisoning in 6 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.

Poisoning: Used with drugs, chemicals, and industrial materials for human or animal poisoning, acute or chronic, whether the poisoning is accidental, occupational, suicidal, by medication error, or by environmental exposure.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Huperzine A is a potent, reversible red cells acetylcholinesterases (AChE) inhibitor, which shows high specificity for AChE preserving scavenger capacity of plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) for OP agents, and cross the blood-brain barrier smoothly preventing the AChE in CNS, so the CNS damages induced by the acute OP poisoning were prevented."6.43[Advances on study of organophosphate poisoning prevented by Huperzine A]. ( Liu, L; Sun, JX, 2005)
"Galantamine, a centrally acting cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor and a nicotinic allosteric potentiating ligand used to treat Alzheimer's disease, is an effective and safe antidote against poisoning with nerve agents, including soman."3.75Effectiveness of donepezil, rivastigmine, and (+/-)huperzine A in counteracting the acute toxicity of organophosphorus nerve agents: comparison with galantamine.
