Role of Terpenoids Active Ingredients Targeting for Neuroprotective Agents

Abstract

Neuroinflammation is a characteristic sign of a wide variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, amongst others. Microglia, which are native immune cells found in the brain, become activated very quickly in response to a brain infection or injury. When microglia become overactivated, their production of pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic chemicals can become unregulated and uncontrolled, which is the primary cause of neuroinflammation. Microglia are principally responsible for neuroinflammation. As a result, the investigation of novel approaches to reduce neuroinflammatory reactions is an essential component of neurodegenerative disease treatment. In the research of brain inflammation, bacterial lipopolysaccharide is frequently used. This compound is responsible for the initiation of a number of significant cellular processes that significantly contribute to the pathophysiology of neuroinflammation.
