Anti-neuroinflammatory constituents from Asparagus cochinchinensis.

Researchers found three new compounds, aspacochinosides N (1), O (2), and P (3), and four known compounds in the roots of Asparagus cochinchinensis. They conducted experiments to evaluate their anti-inflammatory properties and found that compounds 2, 3, and 4 showed significant inhibition on NO production in LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells. These results suggest that these compounds may have therapeutic potential for treating neuroinflammatory diseases.
