Phylogenetic selection of target species in Amaryllidaceae tribe Haemantheae for acetylcholinesterase inhibition and affinity to the serotonin reuptake transport protein

2010-08-31

Abstract excerpt

We present phylogenetic analyses of 37 taxa of Amaryllidaceae, tribe Haemantheae and Amaryllis belladonna L. as an outgroup, in order to provide a phylogenetic framework for the selection of candidate plants for lead discoveries in relation to Alzheimer's disease and depression. DNA sequences from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the plastid trnL-F regions were used. Maximum parsimony an...
