Huprine Y is an anticholinesterase compound. According to research, it could potentially have usefulness in management of certain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. ^{[1] [2]}

Chemistry

At the chemical level, huprine Y has a very similar structure to huprine X ^{[3] [4]} , another AChE inhibitor ^[5] . This chemical similarity could explain their similar mechanisms of action.

Mechanism of action

As an anticholinesterase compound, its main mechanism of action is inhibition of the acetylcholine esterase enzyme, which hydrolyses acetylcholine ^[6] . In other words, Huprine Y reduces the action of the AChE enzyme, resulting in elevated levels of acetylcholine. Like other similar compounds, it appears to have strong affinity when binding to the enzyme. ^{[7] [8]}
