Bioactive Properties and Applications of Leonurine

Cardioprotective Effects

Leonurine has been shown to protect the heart from damage due to myocardial infarction (heart attack). It reduces the size of the infarct (the area of dead tissue due to lack of blood supply) and improves cardiac function. It can stabilize heart rhythms, reducing the incidence of arrhythmias.

Neuroprotective Effects

Leonurine exhibits protective effects against brain damage in stroke models and may have potential benefits in treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Anti-Oxidative and Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Leonurine has antioxidant properties that help in scavenging free radicals, reducing oxidative stress. It reduces inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and pathways, such as NF-κB.

Anti-Fibrotic Effects

It has been shown to reduce fibrosis in the liver and kidneys, potentially aiding in the treatment of chronic liver and kidney diseases.
