Targeting inflammation and oxidative stress for protection against ischemic brain injury in rats using cupressuflavone.

Summary

This study shows that cupressuflavone (CUP), a bioflavonoid found in Abhal plants, has neuroprotective effects on brain ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. CUP reduces neurological deficits, inflammation, and oxidative stress, potentially making it a promising treatment for stroke.

Brain Targeting by Intranasal Drug Delivery: Effect of Different Formulations of the Biflavone "Cupressuflavone" from Juniperus sabina L. on the Motor Activity of Rats.

Summary

The aerial parts of a plant species contain bioflavonoids, including cupressuflavone (CPF), a biflavonoid with various biological activities. To improve the bioavailability of CPF, three self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) were prepared and administered via the intranasal route to rats. Formulations B and C decreased the locomotor activity and balance of rats, with formula C at an intranasal dose of 5 mg/kg having the strongest effect. This study suggests that nose-to-brain drug delivery may be an effective method for treating neurological disorders.
