Fustin
Synonyms: (±)-Fustin; 3,7,3'; 4'-Tetrahydroxyflavanone
Fustin (3,7,3',4'-Tetrahydroxyflavanone) is a potent inhibitor of amyloid β (Aβ), demonstrating significant effects on neurochemical markers associated with Alzheimer's disease. It enhances acetylcholine (ACh) levels and stimulates choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity while decreasing acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and expression. Additionally, Fustin promotes the expression of muscarinic M1 receptor genes and enhances receptor binding activity. This compound is valuable for research in Alzheimer's disease and neurodegenerative processes involving Aβ toxicity.
