General Description

Alstonic acid B is a chemical compound found in the tropical plant Alstonia constricta, commonly known as the Australian pulai. It belongs to the class of natural products known as indole alkaloids, which have been found to have various biological activities. Alstonic acid B has been identified as a potent inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme involved in the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. This inhibition can lead to increased levels of acetylcholine, which has potential implications for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Additionally, alstonic acid B has been shown to have cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. Its pharmacological properties make it a promising candidate for further research and potential drug development.
