The central administration of vitisin a, extracted from Vitis vinifera, improves cognitive function and related signaling pathways in a scopolamine-induced dementia model.

Vitis vinifera contains dietary stilbenoids that benefit neuronal disorders related to cognitive impairment. This study investigated the effects of vitisin A, a resveratrol tetramer derived from V. vinifera stembark, on cognitive functions. In in vitro and ex vivo experiments, vitisin A increased cell survival and restored synaptic mechanisms of learning and memory. In vivo experiments showed that vitisin A ameliorated memory function disruptions in mice and upregulated BDNF-CREB signaling in the hippocampus. Overall, vitisin A exhibits neuroprotective effects by upregulating BDNF-CREB signaling and LTP, making it a potential therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative disorders.
