Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has the third highest health expenditures after heart disease and cancer. It has emerged as a serious global health issue. The discovery of new drugs to prevent and treat AD is of utmost importance. Pholidota cantonensis is an edible medicinal plant consumed in China. It is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat various diseases. P. cantonensis has been reported to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and antibacterial activities. Among these properties, its potent antioxidant activity has attracted our attention, since oxidative stress is one of the important pathological mechanisms involved in AD. This study aimed to isolate the compounds from the active extract and evaluate their bioactivities. Fifteen compounds, including one new compound, were obtained. The isolates were tested for 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)/2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities, anti-acetylcholinesterase (anti-AChE) activities and inhibitory effects on nitrogen monoxide (NO) release in the BV-2 cells. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 1315 exhibited two kinds of AD-associated bioactivities. More importantly, compound 13 showed more potent NO inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.72 ± 0.08 μM) than the positive control quercetin (IC50 = 12.94 ± 0.08 μM). Compound 13 also had a higher inhibitory rate (99.59 ± 0.43%) on AChE than that of the positive control galantamine (78.32 ± 1.16%) at the concentrate of 50 μg/mL. Our studies provide new insights into this plant in terms of its potential in the development of new multi-target anti-Alzheimer’s disease (anti-AD) drugs.
