Acteoside, isolated from C. oppositifolia, was studied for its anti-stroke activity in Wistar rats. Rats were pretreated with acteoside at different doses before being subjected to ischemia-reperfusion brain injury. Neurological, motor-cognitive functions were evaluated along with morphological, biochemical, histopathological, and gene expression studies. Results showed that acteoside had a protective effect against I/R induced brain injury, making it a potential therapeutic agent for stroke treatment.
