Tubastrine, an antioxidant molecule from Tubastraea tagusensis sun coral, in the reversion of oxidative stress and neuron's death induced by Aβ42

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 28, Issue 24, December 2024.
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving mitochondrial dysfunction and consequent production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated after amyloid peptide (Aβ42) accumulation. In this study, we isolated a new antioxidant molecule from the sun coral Tubastraea tagusensis and analysed it in cells exposed
