Solasonine (SS), the main ingredient in Solanum nigrum L., shows neuroprotective effects in vitro and in vivo models of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI). It reduces inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in neurons, and improves neurological outcomes in rats. Mechanistically, it targets the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB and AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1 pathways.
