A rapid TLC bioautographic method for the detection of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors in plants

Abstract: A simple and rapid bioautographic enzyme assay on TLC plates has been developed for the screening of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibition by plant extracts. Enzyme activity was detected by the conversion of naphthyl acetate into naphthol and the formation of the corresponding purple-coloured diazonium dye with Fast Blue B salt. Inhibitors of cholinesterases produced white spots on the dye-coloured background of the TLC plates. The alkaloids galanthamine and physostigmine, which are known i… Show more

“…However, the results will be uncertain when testing colored samples or hydrophobic samples. TLC bioautographic method has arisen in late years [6,7]. As a simple and rapid method, it has been used to screen and bioassay-guidedly isolate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from plant extracts.…”

“…The isolated compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated by TLC, which showed positive spots on the bioautographic TLC test for AChE activity using suitable Marston et al (2002) methodology. The in vitro inhibition of AChE was determined by the spectrophotometric method of Ellman et al (1961).…”
