Targeting inflammation and oxidative stress for protection against ischemic brain injury in rats using cupressuflavone.

This study shows that cupressuflavone (CUP), a bioflavonoid found in Abhal plants, has neuroprotective effects on brain ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. CUP reduces neurological deficits, inflammation, and oxidative stress, potentially making it a promising treatment for stroke.
