Neuroprotective effect of Decalepis hamiltonii aqueous root extract and purified 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzaldehyde on 6-OHDA induced neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Scientists investigated the potential for Decalepis hamiltonii to protect against neurotoxicity induced by 6-hydroxy dopamine in Caenorhabditis elegans. They tested two types of extracts, finding the best results with D. hamiltonii Fresh Tuber Extract (DHFE) and D. hamiltonii purified 2H4MB fraction (DHPF). The team observed that both DHFE and DHPF had significant neuroprotective properties against 6-OHDA-induced toxicity, improving mitochondrial function, dopamine content, and antioxidant defence mechanisms. This indicates a potential use for Decalepis hamiltonii in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
