Figure 2. Dose-response and IC50 values of aaptamine and donepezil against AChE and BuChE.

Figure 3. (A) The binding model between aaptamine and AChE. (B) Binding model between aaptamine and BuChE. Orange dashed line: π–π conjugate effect; Yellow dashed line: hydrogen bond. Yellow sticks structure: compound aaptamine; Green sticks structure: protein AChE; Magenta sticks structure: protein BuChE.

Figure 4. (A) Lineweaver–Burk plot for the inhibition of AChE by aaptamine at different concentrations for substrate ATChI. (B) Secondary plot for calculation of the steady-state inhibition constant (Ki = 1.74 ± 0.04 μM against AChE) of aaptamine. (C) Lineweaver–Burk plot for the inhibition of BuChE by aaptamine at different concentrations for substrate BTChI. (D) Secondary plot for calculation of the steady-state inhibition constant (Ki = 1.59 ± 0.02 μM against BuChE) of aaptamine.

Figure 5. (A) Biacore analysis of aaptamine binding to AChE. (B) Steady state of affinity fitting of aaptamine – AChE interaction. (C) Biacore analysis of aaptamine binding to BuChE. (D) Steady state of affinity fitting of aaptamine – BuChE interaction.
