Abstract
The crude methanolic extract and various fractions of Andrachne cardifolia Muell, including chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions were subjected to in vitro enzyme inhibition activity against acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, lipoxygenase and urease enzymes. A significant enzyme inhibition activity (40–89%) was shown by the crude methanolic extract and its fractions against lipoxygenase, while low to significant activity (40–71%) against butyrylcholinesterase. The crude methanolic extract and its various fractions demonstrated poor to significant activity (25–73%) against acetylcholinesterase and no activity against urease.
