Data represented as mean ± SEM ( each). Mean IC₅₀ values in the column superscripted by different letters are significantly different at . Statistical analysis was carried out separately for acetylcholine esterase and butyrylcholine esterase inhibitory assays. IC₅₀ galantamine, acetylcholine esterase inhibitory activity: 2.52 ± 0.17 µg/mL; IC₅₀ galantamine, butyrylcholine esterase inhibitory activity: 74.80 ± 3.53 µg/mL. Ethanol bark, DCM : M bark, ethanol leaf, and DCM : M leaf = 0.97, 0.97, 0.94, and 0.98, respectively, for butyrylcholine esterase inhibitory activity. Ethanol bark, DCM : M bark, ethanol leaf, and DCM : M leaf = 0.92, 0.94, 0.95, and 0.99, respectively, for acetylcholine esterase inhibitory activity. DCM : M: dichloromethane : methanol.
