Crinum jagus and Crinum glaucum, two Nigerian Crinum species consist of cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitory activity that is very much beneficial for the treatment of
Alzheimer disease. There are many examples of algal species that are endowed with
cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitory activity and can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases for e.g. (Dalisay DS et al. 2009) Dictyotahumifusa,
Hypneavalentiae, Padina gymnospora, Ulva reticulate, etc.
