Most of the population still uses the traditional medicines to cure disease by following their indigenous protocols. Acetylcholine (Ach) is a neurotransmitter, helps in boosting memory and learning. Disturbance in Ach production and release causes fatal disease like Alzheimer and neuro-muscular disorders. Donepezil, Galantamine and other Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor are used to treat them. These drugs prevents rapid hydrolysis of Acetylcholine by antagonize the action of Acetylcholinesterase. Now a day’s most of the research is being carried on natural source. Numerous phyto- constituents are under clinical trial to validate its potential scientifically. Plants and phyto- chemicals are assessed to potentiate the acetylcholine production and delay its hydrolysis. This communication is only to provide the list of plants and their phyto- constituents which antagonize the Acetylcholinesterase action. It consists of plant and their Phyto- constituents which are tested in last 7 years with IC50 value. ER -
