Ligustroflavone exerts neuroprotective activity through suppression of NLRP1 inflammasome in ischaemic stroke mice.

Summary

Researchers investigated using LIG, a compound derived from an herbal plant, as a potential treatment for ischemic stroke. They established an ischaemic stroke model in mice and used various tests to assess neurological deficits. Treatment with LIG showed significant anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activity by minimizing impairment of neurological function, blocking neuronal damage, and attenuating upregulation of inflammatory cytokines. Overall, the findings suggest the potential of LIG as a treatment for stroke by inhibiting NLRP1 inflammasome and reducing inflammation.
