The study investigated the potential of Viola tricolor and Viola odorata to protect brain cells from damage caused by oxygen deprivation and neurodegenerative disorders. The research was conducted in vitro using an SGD-induced cell death model. The results showed that both plant species have antioxidant properties that protect neurons from damage. The findings suggest that these plants may have therapeutic potential in preventing or treating brain ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases.
