Lupanine having the highest inhibition of lipid peroxidation at 100 m g/mL among the tested samples indicated almost the same ABTS cation radical scavenging activity with BHT, a -tocopherol and (+)-catechin at the same concentration . Lupanine and the alkaloidal extract showed almost the same butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity with galantamine at 200 m g/mL. %K Leontice leontopetalum L. subsp. ewersmannii %K Berberidaceae %K lupanine %K anticholinesterase. %U http://www.acgpubs.org/RNP/2011/Volume%205/Issue%201/40-RNP-1011-402.pdf
