Inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) extracted from third-instar Aedes aegypti larvae by isolated neolignan honokiol, magnolol, a structural isomer of honokiol, and nine structurally related phenol compounds of honokiol was determined by acetylthiocholine iodide hydrolysis at 30 °C and pH 8.0 as described in the Methods section. Each bar represents the mean ± standard error of triplicate samples from three independent experiments (P = 0.05, using Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test).
