Researchers studied the effects of Shi chang pu (SCP-oil) on the neuroinflammation of Alzheimer's disease. SCP-oil is the main active component of Acorus tatarinowii Schott, a herbal used for AD treatment in China. Results showed that SCP-oil reduced neuroinflammation in the brains of AD model rats by inhibiting the activation of microglia. This study suggests that SCP-oil may have potential as a therapeutic agent for AD.
