摘要

The present invention provides a process for preparing a callus culture extract of Ficus religiosa L. having enhanced acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity which can be used in the treatment of Alzheimer"s Disease. Callus culture of Ficus religiosa enables large scale production of the extract associated with high acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, which would not have been feasible with naturally occurring Ficus religiosa plants.
