Sikokianin A from Wikstroemia indica protects PC12 cells against OGD/R-induced injury via inhibiting oxidative stress and activating Nrf2

Ischemic cerebral stroke is a severe cause of human death and disability. Natural products play an important role in the discovery of novel therapy for cerebral ischemia. Herein, we investigate the neuroprotective effects of sikokianin A identifiedfrom Wikstroemia indica using PC12 cell exposed to OGD/R. The results revealed sikokianin A can improve the poor viability and release of intracellular LDH in PC12 cells induced by OGD/R. Further...
