ChemMedChem. 2009 May;4(5):828-41.

They show improved cholinergic and antioxidant properties, and are more potent and selective inhibitors of human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) than tacrine.
Moreover, they also inhibit A beta self-aggregation and display neuroprotective properties in a human neuroblastoma line against cell death induced by various toxic insults, such as A beta (25-35), H (2) O (2), and rotenone.

To determine the insecticide mode of action for acute adulticidal activity, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity was also investigated in vitro, and the result indicated that the acute adulticidal activity of compounds 3 and 4 was due to the inhibition of AChE.
Insecticidal activity of Angelica acutiloba extract and its constituents was investigated and compared with that of rotenone.

The insecticidal activity of the chloroform extract of Cnidium officinale rhizomes and its constituents was investigated against larvae and adults of Drosophila melanogaster and compared with that of rotenone.
Acetylcholinesterase (prepared from the adult heads of D. melanogaster) inhibitory activity was also investigated in vitro to determine the insecticide mode of action for the acute adulticidal activity.
