Oral ellagic acid attenuated LPS-induced neuroinflammation in rat brain: MEK1 interaction and M2 microglial polarization.

In this study, researchers investigated the cellular mechanism behind the anti-inflammatory effects of ellagic acid, a compound found in peels of L. that has traditional uses in treating traumatic hemorrhage. They found that ellagic acid inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK and subsequent neuroinflammation induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) in treated BV-2 cells. Additionally, ellagic acid attenuated LPS-induced changes in various biomarkers associated with neuroinflammation, protein aggregation, and programmed cell deaths in the infused substantia nigra. The results suggest that ellagic acid has potential as a neuroprotective agent through inhibiting MEK1-ERK signaling and promoting M2 microglial polarization.

Exploring the Potential Molecular Mechanism of the Shugan Jieyu Capsule in the Treatment of Depression through Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

Shugan Jieyu Capsule (SJC) is a Chinese medicine compound that uses Hypericum perforatum and Acanthopanacis Senticosi. It is currently used to treat depression, but how it works is not fully understood. Further research is needed to determine the mechanism of action. Understanding this could lead to improved treatment options and potentially help more people in the future.
