Phytochemical Constituents from the Seeds of Capsella bursa-pastoris and Their Antioxidant Activities.

Scientists investigated the seeds of a plant called Capsella bursa-pastoris and found a new organic acid and several known compounds. They tested the antioxidant capacities of these substances and found that some of them showed potential neuroprotective effects against oxidative damage in HT-22 cells.
