Neuroprotective effects of bornyl acetate on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis via anti-inflammatory effects and maintaining blood-brain-barrier integrity.

Researchers investigated the immunomodulatory effects of BA on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). They found that BA decreased the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from PBMCs and decreased the proliferation of T cells. These findings suggest that BA may have potential therapeutic effects on autoimmune diseases. However, further studies are needed to fully explore the mechanisms and efficacy of BA in treating these diseases.
