Biological Information

  • Product Name

  • Note
    Research use only, not for human use.
  • Brief Description
    Alpha-Asarone is a psychoactive compound with antidepressant-like activity in mice.
  • Description
    Alpha-Asarone is a psychoactive compound with antidepressant-like activity in mice.(In Vitro):The results indicated that α-asarone significantly attenuated the LPS-stimulated increase in neuroinflammatory responses and suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine production in BV-2 cells. Mechanistic study revealed that alpha-Asarone (α-Asarone) inhibited the LPS-stimulated activation via regulation of nuclear factor kappa-B by blocking degradation of inhibitor kappa B-alpha signaling in BV-2 microglial cells.(In Vivo):The present results reveal that the acute treatment of alpha-Asarone (α-Asarone) elicited biphasic responses on immobility such that the duration of the immobility time is significantly reduced at lower doses (15 and 20 mg/kg, i.p.) but increased at higher doses (50 and 100 mg/kg, i.p.) in the TST. Besides, alpha-Asarone (α-Asarone) at higher doses (50 and 100 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly decreased the spontaneous locomotor activity.
