Abstract

Objective: Cognitive deterioration occurring in patients with probable Alzheimer’s disease is associated with a progressive loss of cholinergic neurons
and a consequent decline in levels of acetylcholine in the brain. This study aimed to evaluate the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory effects and
cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells of different parts of three lotus extracts.
Methods: AChE activity was quantified by spectrophotometry and cytotoxicity by flow 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide
assay in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to extracts.
Results: All of the extracts had inhibitory effects to AChE at p<0.05, but Roseum Plenum stem extract could inhibit AChE more than 30% (p<0.05). The
all of the extracts could be an increase SH-SY5Y cell proliferation, while Album Plenum flower extract could be cytotoxic on SH-SY5Y cells.
Conclusion: The extracts of lotus could be supplemented compound for cognitive deterioration or Alzheimer’s patients.
