eel AChE:2.19 mM (Ki) |
In Vitro | (-)-Carvone (3.04 mM; 30 min) inactivates eel AChE with Ki value of 2.19 mM[1]. |
In Vivo | (-)-Carvone (5% in absolute ethanol v/v, 20 μL; application to the thoraces ventral surfaces) inhibits AChE such as horse serum cholinesterase, house fly head cholinesterases, and head and thorax cholinesterases from the Madagascar roach in vitro[1]. (-)-Carvone (0.05%-0.1% w/v; p.o.; 7 d) inhibits E. insulana larvae growth, decreases weight of larvae[2]. Animal Model: Female roaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) (6.4 g-6.8 g)[1] Dosage: 5% in absolute ethanol v/v, 20 μL Administration: Application to the ventral surfaces of their thoraces; decapitated and crude at various time intervals (0, 2, 4, 5, 20, 24, and 26 hr) Result: Inhibited the activity of AChE in the extracts of both the head and thorax. |
