Selection of Local Microorganism Solutions as Crude Fiber Digester in Areca catechu L. Peel Waste for Producing Poultry Feed Additives

Arborinol methyl ether from Areca catechu L.

The title compound isolated from Areca catechu L. (common name: arborinol methyl ether; a member of the arborane family) was established as 3α-methoxyarbor-9(11)-ene, C(31)H(52)O. Rings A/B/C/D assume a chair conformation, while ring E has an envelope conformation. The absolute configuration was determined to be (3R,5R,8S,10S,13R,14S,17S,18S, 21S) by analysis of Bijvoet pairs based on resonant ...

In vitro cholinesterase inhibitory activity of Areca catechu L.

Background and objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized as the most prevalent age related neurodegenerative disease along with cognitive impairment in elderly people. Most of therapeutic treatments for AD have dedicated to the inhibition of cholinesterase (ChEs) to increase the level of acetylcholine (ACh) in the cholinergic synaptic cleft. Acetylcholinesterase (AC...
