Abstract
Brown-alga-derived natural agent NX42, mainly composed of algal polysaccharides and phlorotannins, showed mild but dose-dependent inhibition of acetylcholinesterase with $IC_{50}=600-700\;{\mu}g/mL$. Phlorotannin-rich fraction of NX42 showed substantial increase of the activity by more than one order of magnitude ($IC_{50}=54\;{\mu}g/mL$) and significant protection of SK-N-SH cells from oxidative stress by $H_2O_2$. Learning trials of mice for 5 consecutive days revealed electric-shock treatment during learning period significantly retarded learning process, whereas NX42-treated mice showed significant resistance against leaning deficiency possibly mainly due to anticholinesterase and neuroprotective activities of phlorotannin.
