Molecular networking-assisted systematical profiling and the in vivo neuroprotective effect of ellagitannins from the Melastoma dodecandrum Lour.

Summary

Researchers investigated the chemistry and neuroprotective effects of ellagitannins (ETs) in Melastoma dodecandrum (MD), a traditional Chinese medicine. ETs are natural tannins that have promising anti-Alzheimer's disease effects. This study focused on the potential of urolithins, an intestinal metabolite of ETs. Results indicated that MD contains high levels of ETs, suggesting it may have neuroprotective benefits. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore potential treatment for AD.
