β-Asarone Attenuates Neuroinflammation of Alzheimer's Disease by Activating Autophagy and Suppressing NLRP3 Inflammasome Assembly. [PDF]
CNS Neurosci Therβ‐amyloid activates microglia via the TLR/NF‐κB pathway and primes the NLRP3 inflammasome, driving neuroinflammation. β‐asarone counteracts this by activating autophagy, which degrades NLRP3 components and inhibits inflammasome assembly. This reduces IL‐1β maturation, suppresses cytokine release, and alleviates neuronal damage and cognitive deficits in
