Description
A bacterial metabolite; scavenges ABTS radicals in a cell-free assay at 50-150 µM and decreases hydrogen peroxide-induced MDA levels in rat striatal membranes (IC50 = 180 µM); decreases increases in MDA levels induced by amyloid β (1-42) in PC12 cells; decreases ischemia-induced increases in cell death of pyramidal neurons and levels of HNE and GFAP in the hippocampal CA1 region in gerbils at 10 mg/kg per day
