Abstract

This review describes 183 compounds obtained from plants and fungi which have been shown to inhibit acetylcholinesterase. The mechanism of action of cholinesterase, together with the binding sites, and, where this is known, the mode of action of inhibitors is described. The relative activities of the different compounds are recorded. The strongest inhibitors are generally alkaloids although some meroterpenoids from fungi have also been found to be active and display better selectivity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
