Biological Activity

Gastrodin has anti-inflammatory activity, can significantly attenuate levels of neurotoxic proinflammatory mediators and proinflammatory cytokines by inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway and phosphorylation of MAPKs in LPS-stimulated microglial cells, suggests that gastrodin has a potential as an anti-inflammatory drug candidate in neurodegenerative diseases.[1]
Gastrodin protects midbrain of MPTP-intoxicated mice against oxidative stress, in part, through interrupting ERK1/2–Nrf2 pathway mechanism, which will give us an insight into the potential of gastrodin in terms of opening up new therapeutic avenues for PD.[2]
Gastrodin is one of the natural compound isolated from Gastrodia elata and has anticonvulsant effects, it may cause the elevation of GABA concentration by inhibiting the GABA shunt.[3]
Gastrodin activates PI3-K/Akt signaling and that inhibition of this pathway reverses the inhibitory effects of gastrodin on NF-κB and MAPKs activation in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.[4]
Gastrodin can inhibit allodynia and hyperalgesia in painful diabetic neuropathy rats by decreasing excitability of nociceptive primary sensory neurons.[5]
Gastrodin has protective effect to the prevention of neurotoxicity induced by ischemic stroke, the mechanism is by improving anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation activities, inhibiting apoptosis pathway, and increasing Akt phosphorylation and Nrf2 expression.[6]
