specific Embodiment 1

[0019] Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) by fucoxanthin

[0020] 1. Experimental materials and reagents

[0021] Fucoxanthin is extracted and purified from copper algae, and its chemical structure is as follows:

[0022] .

[0023] Experimental reagents: iodoacetylthiocholine (AChI) was purchased from sigma company, dissolved in 100mmol L -1 Na 2 HPO 4 solution, the concentration is 20mmol·L -1 . Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) was purchased from LifeScience, dissolved in 100mmol L -1 Na 2 HPO 4 solution, the concentration is 5mmol L -1 . Ethylpromazine (BuChE inhibitor) was purchased from Sigma, dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a concentration of 20 mmol L -1 .

[0024] Preparation of brain homogenate: the rats were decapitated and the brains were taken out, and the cerebral cortex was separated on ice and dried with liquid nitrogen. After weighing the cortex, add 10 times of lysis buffer (HEPES10mmol L -1 , TritonX-1000.5%, EDTA5mmol·L ...

specific Embodiment 2

[0037] Figure 5 The middle control group is untreated SH-SY5Y cells (from Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences), the cells added with hydrogen peroxide are the model group, and the cells added with different concentrations of fucoxanthin 2 hours in advance are the experimental group. Cell viability was detected by MTT colorimetry. Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that adding hydrogen peroxide to SH-SY5Y cells can lead to cell death, and adding fucoxanthin 2 hours in advance can reduce the cell death rate caused by hydrogen peroxide. It is concluded that fucoxanthin can resist the cytotoxicity caused by oxidative stress. Have neuroprotective effect. Since Aβ may generate hydrogen peroxide in cells, which may cause oxidative stress and lead to cell death, this shows that fucoxanthin may produce neuroprotection against Aβ from a perspective.

Abstract

The invention discloses new application of fucoxanthin to preparation of medicine for treating the alzheimer disease. The application is characterized in that fucoxanthin is used in the aspect of preparation of the medicine for treating the alzheimer disease, particularly in the aspect of preparation of medicine inhibiting acetylcholin esterase and the aspect of preparation of medicine inhibiting Abeta fibrosis. The application has the advantage that fucoxanthin has the inhibition function on acetylcholin esterase and Abeta fibrosis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a new application of fucoxanthin, in particular to a new application of fucoxanthin in the preparation of drugs for treating Alzheimer's disease. Background technique [0002] Fucoxanthin, also known as fucoxanthin and fucoxanthin, is widely distributed in algae such as Phaeophyceae, Diatomaceae, Chrysophyceae, and Dinophyceae, and participates in their photosynthesis. Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll compound belonging to the carotenoid family. It has a special allene carbon skeleton and has strong antioxidant properties. It can effectively scavenge free radicals and singlet oxygen and prevent free radical damage. Modern pharmacological research has found that fucoxanthin is safe, can effectively resist oxidative stress in the human body, and has various activities such as anti-tumor, memory improvement, and weight loss. [0003] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of senile dementia. Due to the lack of specific cli...
