Neuroprotective effect of Spilanthes acmella Murr. on pesticide-induced neuronal cells death.

Researchers aimed to test whether extracts from the S. acmella plant could protect dopamine-producing cells in the brain from death caused by exposure to pesticides. They used dopamine-producing cell lines and measured cell death rates. Results showed that S. acmella extracts protected these cells from pesticide-induced death by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. This suggests that S. acmella could be a potential natural treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's, that are caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain.
