Abstract
Amyloid precursor protein is linked with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The Australian cowplant Gymnema sylvestre is known in Indian and Chinese medicine. Therefore, it is of interest to screen the Amyloid precursor protein with compounds from the Australian cowplant. We report five compounds (Gymnemasaponin 5, Gymnemasin D, Gymnemoside A, Gymnemoside E, Gymnemoside F) derived from the Australian cowplant as the poteinal inhibitors of Amyloid precursor protein with optimal binding features for further consideration.
