Biochem/physiol Actions

Senegenin (Tenuigenin) is a natural product from Polygala tenuifolia used in Chinese medicine with antioxidative and antiinflammatory activity. Senegenin has been studied for nootropic ability to improve cognition. In several independent studies, Tenuigenin attenuated α-synuclein-induced cytotoxicity and α-synuclein phosphorylation by down-regulating polo-like kinase 3 (PLK3) in α-synuclein cell model of Parkinson′s Disease, improved behavioral Y-maze learning by enhancing synaptic plasticity in mice, and attenuated hepatic ischemia-reperfusion induced cognitive dysfunction by increasing hippocampal N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor NR2B subunit expression in rats.
