Abstract
Chitooligosaccharide or COS is a kind of oligosaccharide thatis an integral part of the nervous system. COS is synthesizedby chemical substitution and derived AE-COS, DEAE-COSand DMAE-COS that are being shown on IC50 value. AE-COSand DMAE-COS exhibited four fold less inhibition than DEAECOS.In addition, non-competitive inhibitor was identified viaa Dixon plot and the Ki inhibition constant (100 μg/mL).We declared, chemical substitution of COS is a water solublehuman safe BACE-1 inhibitor.
