Abstract

In the course of screening anti-dementia agents from natural products, two $\beta$-secretase (BACE1) inhibitors were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Sanguisorbae Radix by the activity-guided purification using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and RP-HPLC. They were identified as 1,2,3-trigalloyl-4,6-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (Tellimagrandin II, 1) and 1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (2) and were shown to non-competitively inhibit $\beta$-secretase (BACE1) with the $IC_{50}$ values of $3.10{\times}10^{-6}M\;and\;3.76{\times}10^{-6}M$, respectively. The Ki values of 1 and 2 were $6.84{\times}10^{-6}M\;and\;5.13{\times}10^{-6}M$. They were less inhibitory to asecretase (TACE) and other serine proteases such as chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase, suggesting that they were relatively specific inhibitors of BACE1.
