Huperziani ubwoko bwa moss ikura mubushinwa.Ifitanye isano na mose ya club (umuryango wa Lycopodiaceae) kandi izwi nabamwe mubimera nka Lycopodium serratum.Mose yateguwe yose yakoreshejwe gakondo.Imiti y'ibyatsi igezweho ikoresha gusa alkaloide yitaruye izwi ku izina rya huperzine A. Huperzine A ni alkaloide iboneka muri huperzia yavuzwe ko irinda isenyuka rya acetylcholine, ikintu cy'ingenzi gikenerwa na sisitemu y'imitsi kugira ngo ikwirakwize amakuru ava mu ngirabuzimafatizo.Ubushakashatsi bw’inyamaswa bwagaragaje ko huperzine A.'s ubushobozi bwo kubika acetylcholine irashobora kuba irenze iy'imiti imwe n'imwe yandikiwe.Gutakaza imikorere ya acetylcholine nikintu cyibanze kiranga imikorere myinshi yubwonko, harimo na Alzheimer'Indwara.Huperzine A irashobora kandi kugira ingaruka zo kurinda ingirangingo zubwonko, bikarushaho kongera ubushobozi bwayo bwo gufasha kugabanya ibimenyetso byindwara zimwe na zimwe zubwonko.

[Imikorere] Yifashishijwe mu buvuzi butandukanye, huperzine A yasanze ikora nka inhibitori ya cholinesterase, ubwoko bwimiti ikoreshwa mu gukumira isenyuka rya acetyloline (imiti ikenewe mu kwiga no kwibuka).

Ntabwo ikoreshwa gusa nkumuti wa Alzheimer'Indwara, huperzine A nayo ivugwa ko izamura imyigire no kwibuka no kurinda kugabanuka kwubwenge bujyanye nimyaka.

Byongeye,huperzine A.rimwe na rimwe ikoreshwa mu kongera ingufu, kongera kuba maso, no gufasha mu kuvura gravis myasthenia (indwara ya autoimmune ifata imitsi).
