Beta-Asarone

Beta-Asarone may be a potential preventive drug for Alzheimer's disease. Beta-Asarone prevents autophagy and synaptic loss by reducing ROCK expression in SAMP8 mice. The co-administration of beta-Asarone and l-dopa may contribute to the treatment of 6-OHDA-induced damage in rats by inhibiting autophagy activity. 4. Beta-Asarone exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators through NF-κB signaling and the JNK pathways in activated microglial cells and might be developed as a promising candidate to treat various neuroinflammatory diseases.
