Moringin 

Moringin is a potent and selective TRPA1 ion channel natural agonist with an EC₅₀ of 3.14 μM. Moringin does not activate or activates very weakly the vanilloids somatosensory channels TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3 and TRPV4, and the melastatin cooling receptor TRPM8. Moringin has hypoglycemic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and neuroprotection activities^[1][2].

In SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, Moringin (16.4 µM; 24-72 h) significantly reduces SH-SY5Y cell growth in a time and concentration-dependent manner^[2].
Moringin (1.64-8.2 μM; 24 h) increases the expression of p53, p21, and Bax at both the protein and transcriptional level in SH-SY5Y cells. Moringin significantly increases the gene expression of both caspase 3 and 9 and enhanced their cleavage, thereby initiating an intrinsic apoptotic cascade^[2].
Moringin inhibits nuclear translocation of NF-κB^[2].

In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice, Moringin (10 mg/kg; intraperitoneally daily for 5 week) pretreatment normalizes the aberrant Wnt-β-catenin pathway, resulting in GSK3β inhibition and β-catenin upregulation, which regulates T-cell activation (CD4 and FoxP3), suppresses the main inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, IL-6, and COX2), through activation of PPARγ. Moringin increases antioxidant Nrf2 expression in EAE mice^[3].
