1 Ursolic acid attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced cognitive deficits in mouse brain through suppressing p38/NF-kappaB mediated inflammatory pathways. ursolic acid nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells 1, p105 Mus musculus
2 Mechanistically, UA markedly inhibited LPS-induced IkappaBalpha phosphorylation and degradation, NF-kappaB p65 nuclear translocation and p38 activation in mouse brain, but did not affect the activation of TLR4, MyD88, ERK, JNK and Akt. ursolic acid nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells 1, p105 Mus musculus
3 Taken together, these results suggest that UA may be useful for mitigating inflammation-associated brain disorders by inhibiting pro-inflammatory factors production, at least in part, through blocking the p38/NF-kappaB signaling pathways. ursolic acid nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells 1, p105 Mus musculus
