Nodakenin is a compound used for inhibiting influenza virus including Nodakenin and/or Nodakenetin.
ChEBI: Nodakenin is a furanocoumarin.
1. Rhizome of Qianghuo is extracted with ethanol, concentrated, and acid-hydrolyzed. The hydrolysate is passed through macroporous resin. Elution with ethanol of varying concentrations yields an extract rich in the target.
2. The extract is mixed with silica gel and subjected to silica column chromatography with a petroleum ether-ethyl acetate gradient. The 10:1 fraction is collected and purified by preparative HPLC to obtain nodakenin.
Nodakenin (10 mg/kg, p.o.) reverses scopolamine-induced cognitive impairments in the passive avoidance test and the Y-maze test[1].
Nodakenin (10 mg/kg, p.o.) reduces escape latency during training in the Morris water maze test[1].
