[What is Huperzine A]

Huperzia is a type of moss that grows in China. It is related to club mosses (the Lycopodiaceae family) and is known to some botanists as Lycopodium serratum . The whole prepared moss was used traditionally. Modern herbal preparations use only the isolated alkaloid known as huperzine A. Huperzine A is an alkaloid found in huperzia that has been reported to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous system to transmit information from cell to cell. Animal research has suggested that huperzine A’s ability to preserve acetylcholine may be greater than that of some prescription drugs. Loss of acetylcholine function is a primary feature of several disorders of brain function, including Alzheimer’s disease . Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.

[Function] Used in alternative medicine, huperzine A has been found to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (a chemical essential to learning and memory).

Not only used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, huperzine A is also said to enhance learning and memory and to protect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition, huperzine A is sometimes used to boost energy, increase alertness, and aid in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles).

A condensation (or dehydration) reaction is when water is removed in the process of joining two monomers to form a polymer. Examples are:

Glucose + Glucose becomes Maltose + water
Maltose + Glucose becomes Polysaccharide + water
Glycerol + 3 Fatty acids becomes Triglyceride +3 water molecules
Amino acid + Amino acid becomes Dipeptide + water
Dipeptide + Amino acid becomes Polypeptide + water

A hydrolysis reaction is when water is used to split a polymer into its constituent monomers. Examples are:

Maltose + 1 water becomes 1 Glucose + 1 Glucose
Polysaccharide + water becomes Maltose + 1 Glucose
Triglyceride +3 water molecules becomes Glycerol + 3 Fatty acids
Dipeptide + water becomes 1 Amino acid + 1 Amino acid
Polypeptide + water becomes Dipeptide + 1 Amino acid
