N-Caffeoyl serotonin
N-Caffeoyl serotonin is a COX-2 inhibitor, with IC50 and Kᵢ values of 42.5 μM and 65.5 μM against COX-2, respectively. N-Caffeoyl serotonin exhibits weak inhibitory activity against BACE1, with an IC50 > 400 μM. N-Caffeoyl serotonin has free radical scavenging activity. N-Caffeoyl serotonin can be used in the research of allergic diseases and Alzheimer's disease.

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.
