Inhibitory and enzyme-kinetic Investigation of chelerythrine and lupeol Isolated from Zanthoxylum rhoifolium against krait snake venom acetylcholinesterase
The in vitro activity of chelerythrine and lupeol, two metabolites isolated from Zanthoxylum rhoifolium were studied against the venom of the snake Bungarus sindanus (Elapidae). The venom, which is highly toxic to humans, consists mainly by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Both compounds showed activity against the venom, and the alkaloid chelerythrine presented higher activity than did triterpene lupeol.
