Abstract

The ${\gamma}$- and ${\beta}$-secretase are one of the most important proteases, which cleave amyloid precursor protein (APP) into neurotoxic A${\beta}$ peptide in Azheimer's type dementia. In the course of screening for anti-dementia agents from natural products, the mycelial culture of mushroom Phellinus linteus showed potent inhibition againt ${\beta}$-secretase (BACE1). (omitted)
