Geniposide is an iridoid glycoside that has been found in G. jasmonoides fruit and has diverse biological activities.{50311,50312,50313} It reduces exudate volume and nitrite levels in a rat model of carrageenan-induced air pouch inflammation when administered at a dose of 0.1 mg/pouch.{50311} Geniposide (100 mg/kg, p.o.) prevents carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. It reduces serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and hepatic levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as increases hepatic levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in a rat model of high-fat diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) when administered at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg.{50312} Geniposide (100 mg/kg) prevents increases in apoptosis and decreases in the number of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra in a mouse model of MPTP-induced Parkinson’s disease.{50313} It also improves motor coordination in the rotarod and swim tests in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease.
