Abstract: Activation of microglial cells in the brain has been considered to be associated with various neurodegenerative diseases (NDD). In this study, cepharanthine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, was found to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced microglial activation. Cepharanthine suppressed… read more here.
