Moltkia coerulea extracts alleviate caspase-3 activity via reducing oxidative stress in LPS-induced neurotoxicity in BV-2 cells

<i>M</i>. <i>coerulea</i> extracts alleviated LPS-induced apoptosis in BV-2 cells by reducing oxidative stress and caspase-3 activity. These findings suggest a potential neuroprotective role of phenolic compounds present in <i>M</i>. <i>coerulea</i> that may translate into beneficial effects in animal models and warrant further preclinical evaluation.
