Eleganolone, a diterpene isolated from seaweed Bifurcaria bifurcata (Phaeophyceae, Fucales), protects neuronal cells from oxidative stress-induced damage. (PubMed, Eur J Pharmacol)
Additionally, our data showed that eleganolone downregulated the expression of genes associated with apoptosis (BAX, BNIP3, p53, p38, APAF1), inflammation (NFKB1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β), oxidative stress (HO-1) and neuronal development (CAMK2A, WNT5A, WNT7A) pathways in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to oxidative stressor tert-BOOH. These findings suggest that eleganolone offers neuroprotective potential in ameliorating diverse pathological aspects associated with oxidative stress.
