Withanone
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Withanone is an active ingredient from the roots of Withania somnifera and a GRP75 inhibitor. Withanone has multifunctional neuroprotective effects in alleviating cognitive dysfunction. In neuron-like cells, Withanone can inhibit NMDA-induced excitotoxicity. Withanone can inhibit white adipose tissue browning by blocking the formation of the GRP75-ANT2-UCP1 complex, thereby alleviating cancer-related cachexia. Withanone can be used in the research of tumors and nervous system diseases.

Withanone (5-20 μM; Neuro2a cells) treatment significantly reverses the cell death induced by NMDA in N2a cells[1].
Withanone (5-20 μM; Neuro2a cells) treatment significantly normalizes Bax and Bcl-2 levels[1].
Attenuation of NMDA-induced intracellular calcium releases by Withanone in N2a cells[1].
Withanone attenuates NMDA-induced Reactive Oxygen Species generation in N2a cells and induces attenuation of mitochondrial membrane motential loss[1].
Withanone treatment down-regulates the expression of cytochrome c[1].
Withanone treatment decteases the Malondialdehyde levels in NMDA-induced excitotoxicity[1].
Withanone shows promise in Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment because of cognitive benefits and more importantly, mechanisms of action with respect to the fundamental pathophysiology of the disease, not limited to the inhibition of AChE, but also include the modification of Aβ processing, protection against oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects. Withanone (24 hours) treatment shows significant protective effect against amyloid β (Aβ) toxicity in Aβ induced toxicity in PC-12 cells[2].
