Cinchonidine, an alkaloid derived from Cinchona, demonstrates neuroprotective properties against ischemic brain injury by enhancing cellular protection in cerebral endothelial cells
Cheng-ying Hsieh, Kuan-Jung Lu · FENS Forum 2024
Acute ischemic stroke, also referred to as a cerebrovascular accident, occurs when localized tissue faces ischemia, leading to an inability to maintain physiological conditions or even resulting in death due to the obstruction or rupture of blood vessels in the brain. The current use of rt-PA for stroke medication has a limited time frame of 3-4.5 hours and is associated with neurotoxicity. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore alternative treatments for ischemic stroke. Cinchonidine, an alkaloid derived from the bark of cinchona, has previously demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxida
