Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Melineurine (100 μg/mL) inhibits electric eel acetylcholinesterase with an IC50 of 95.3 μM, with steric hindrance from its 3,3-dimethyl-2-propeneyloxyl substituent reducing its binding affinity compared to more potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors[1].
Melineurine (0.1-1.0 μM, 100 μg/mL) inhibits horse serum butyrylcholinesterase with an IC50 of 28.0 μM via a mixed competitive mechanism, with strong binding affinity mediated by multiple hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with key active site residues[1].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Alzheimer’s Disease Modeling
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive functions and loss of specific types of neurons and synapses. Alzheimer's symptoms can be simulated in mice by injecting drugs (such as Aβ) or genetically modified.
