Auraptene
Neuroprotective / Neuritogenic agent / A bioactive terpenoid occurring in a variety of citrus fruits and possessing therapeutic potential.1 Displays neuritogenic activity2 and neuroprotective effects via suppression of inflammation and induction of GDNF and BDNF in neuronal cells3. Attenuates ROS production and enhances mitochondrial respiration which mitigates Parkinson’s disease-like behavior.4 Displays hepatoprotective5 and chemopreventive activity6.
