Common Names: Lindley's butterflybush
Researchers isolated two new compounds, mimengosides J and K, from the fruits of Buddleja lindleyana. They also tested these compounds for their protective effects on nerve cells, finding that they may be a candidate for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Seven known compounds were also identified.
Researchers discovered two new compounds, mimengosides H and I, in the fruits of Buddleja lindleyana Fort using various analytical techniques. They then tested the neuroprotective capabilities of these compounds against neurotoxicity induced by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion in PC12 cells. Pre-treatment with mimengoside H showed a potential protective effect in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1 μmol l⁻¹. These findings suggest that mimengoside H could be explored further as a neuroprotective agent with potential health benefits.
