Epiberberine chloride
AChE/BChE Inhibitor
Epiberberine chloride is an alkaloid derived from Coptis chinensis, functioning primarily as a potent inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), with IC50 values of 1.07 μM and 6.03 μM, respectively. This compound also serves as a non-competitive inhibitor of BACE1, with an IC50 of 8.55 μM. In addition to its cholinesterase inhibition, Epiberberine chloride exhibits antioxidant properties, demonstrated by its ability to scavenge peroxynitrite (IC50 of 16.83 μM), suggesting a potential protective role in Alzheimer’s disease research. Furthermore, it inhibits the early differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and downregulates key signaling pathways, indicating its relevance in studies on diabetes.
