TRANS-ANETHOLE ((E)-1-METHOXY-4- (1-PROPENYL) BENZENE), A NEW AND POTENT INHIBITOR OF PROLYL ENDOPEPTIDASE
Abstract:
Overexpression of prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) activity in the brain was found to be linked with neurodegenerative disorders, and the memory loss caused by amnesic compounds can be restored by PEP inhibitors. In the current intervention, the PEP inhibitory activity of trans-anethole ((E)-1-Methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)benzene), an essential oil that is naturally occurring in Illicium verum (star anise) has been assessed. More specifically, the present invention relates to finding of a potent inhibitor of prolyl endopeptidase (Trans-Anethole ((E)-1-Methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)benzene).
