Scientists isolated ten compounds from Cynanchum paniculatum Kitagawa roots and tested their ability to protect nerve cells from damage. Compound 4, called 2,3-dihydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone, was the most effective at preventing damage, with a 47.55% protection rate. These findings suggest that the compound may have neuroprotective effects against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity.
