Abstract

Highlights: [•] Neurodegeneration-related enzyme inhibitory effects of Viburnum tinus was tested. [•] Antioxidant activity of the plant was tested in seven in vitro assays. [•] The branch–ethyl acetate and fruit–methanol extract had significant anticholinesterase effect. [•] Tyrosinase inhibitory activity of V. tinus was examined for the first time. [•] This is the first study on cholinesterase inhibition of V. tinus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
