Microglia, the resident macrophage-like population in the CNS, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative disorders. Nectandra genus is known to produce different metabolites with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and analgesic properties. Although the species Nectandra angustifolia is popularly used for the treatment of different types of inflammatory processes, its biological effects on neuroinflammation have not yet been addressed. In this study, we have investigated the role of a Nectandra angustifolia ethanolic extract (NaE) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation in vitro and in vivo. In LPS-activated BV2 microglial cells, NaE significantly reduced the induced proinflammatory mediators TNF-α, IL-...
