sinomenine/infarction

Astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation plays a critical role in ischemic stroke-induced secondary cerebral injury. Previous studies have suggested that the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) acts as a key target in regulating the neuroinflammatory response. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are

Extracts of the plant Sinomenium acutum have been used safely since ancient times in Chinese medicine for treatment of rheumatic diseases, and the purified alkaloid, sinomenine, was recently shown to have anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic effects. This study describes the effects of sinomenine in

OBJECTIVE Sinomenine (SN), a bioactive alkaloid, has been utilized clinically to treat rheumatoid arthritis in China. Our preliminary experiments indicated that it could protect PC12 cells from oxygen-glucose deprivation-reperfusion (OGD-R), we thus investigated the possible effects of SN on

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of sinomenine (SIN) on rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and the molecular mechanism. METHODS One hundred thirty-five rats were equally randomized into sham-operated group, middle cerebral artery occlusion

Neuroinflammation remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in stroke-induced secondary brain injury. The NOD-like receptor pyrin 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is involved in diverse inflammatory diseases, including cerebral ischemia, and is thus considered an effective therapeutic target. In
