Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability Study of Potential Neuroprotective Compounds Recovered From Plants and Agri-Food by-Products.

Researchers used various extraction techniques to recover bioactive compounds from several plants and woods. These extracts were then tested for their neuroprotective properties and submitted to phytochemical profiling. The most promising extract was from acacia, which showed strong neuroprotective capacity and high perfusion capacity. Tamarillo and rosemary extracts were non-toxic, while acacia and lenga extracts were mild-cytotoxic, and kalanchoe was highly toxic. These extracts could potentially be used to create valuable food additives, supplements, or nutraceuticals with neuroprotective properties.
