Various plant phenolics were assessed for (B-secretase (BACE1) inhibitory activity in order to screen for anti-dementia agents. Among 39 phenolics, eight compounds, 1,2,3-trigalloyl glucopyranoside, acetonyl geraniin, euphorscopin, furosine, helioscopinin A, helioscopinin B, jolkinin, and rugosin E exhibited strong inhibition of BACE1 with IC50 values of 5.87x10-8-54.93x10-6 M. Among them, rugosin E was the most potent (IC50 5.87x10-8 M ). The active compounds were shown to be non-competitive inhibitors by Dixon plot. All the phenolic BACE1 inhibitors except furosin also suppressed prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) activity. However, these phenolic compounds caused less inhibition of a-secretase (tumor necrosis factor a converting enzyme; TACE) and no significant inhibition of other serine proteases such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase was seen, demonstrating that they are relatively specific to both BACE1 and PEP. No significant structure-activity relationships were found.
