Tested compounds	Concentration (μg/ml)	Inhibition (%) against BuChE	IC₅₀ (μg/ml)
Seeds aqueous extract	1	57.11 ± 2.00*	0.74
	10	80.34 ± 2.25**
	100	94.93 ± 2.00**
Leaves aqueous extract	1	54.78 ± 1.25*	0.81
	10	76.30 ± 1.50*
	100	87.11 ± 5.50*
Roots aqueous extract	1	32.25 ± 2.35	10.35
	10	49.01 ± 3.25
	100	67.81 ± 3.67*
^(a) Galanthamine	1	44.5 ± 1.00	7.9
	10	59.44 ± 2.5*
	100	67.5 ± 2.5*

Significant difference obtained with: *P < 0.05: **P < 0.01
The reported comparisons concern: Seeds aqueous extract versus control^(a), leaves aqueous extract versus control^(a) and roots aqueous extract versus control^(a). Every concentration is compared with its equivalent in the other extract.
