Huperzine A (HupA) is a naturally occurring compound found in the firmoss Huperzia serrata. While HupA is a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, its full pharmacologic profile is incompletely described. Since previous works suggested a capacity for HupA to prophylax against seizures, we tested the
Huperzine A (HUP), an alkaloid isolated from the Chinese club moss, Huperzia serrata is a reversible inhibitor of cholinesterases which crosses the blood-brain barrier and shows high specificity for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and a prolonged biological half-life. We tested, in vivo, its efficiency
L-Huperzine-A (Hup-A), a natural cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) derived from the Chinese herb Huperzia serrata, was administered systemically (i.p.) or locally through the microdialysis probe into the rat cortex. Systemic Hup-A significantly increased acetylcholine (ACh) levels above baseline at
