Figure 2

Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity by the isolated compounds. IC50 (μg/ml): SA, 1268.33 ± 19.14; VA, 84.66 ± 3.20; DC, 118.17 ± 5.06; GI, 547.37 ± 11.47; DP, 10.11 ± 0.26. Results represent mean ± SD (n = 3). Donepezil (DP) was used as a reference compound. Compound 1 had no activity and was not shown. Means with different letters (a–e) differ significantly (). SA, syringaldehyde; VA, vanillin; DC, dihydroconiferyl dihydro-p-coumarate; GI, gigantol; DP, donepezil.
