Tephrocarpin is a natural alkaloid derived from the plant Tephrosia villosa. It has been studied for its potential medicinal properties, particularly in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments, due to its neuroprotective effects. The compound is believed to work by modulating acetylcholinesterase activity, which can enhance cholinergic neurotransmission in the brain. Additionally, tephrocarpin has shown promise as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, making it a potential candidate for treating conditions related to oxidative stress and inflammation.
