It has been reported that when ferroptosis occurs in neurons, then microglia are activated and release toxic substances including pro-inflammatory factor IL-6, which can cause neuro-inflammation and lead to further brain damage (Tang et al., 2020)
The mechanism may be related to curculigoside significantly reducing AD-promoting factors (e.g., A1-42, p-tau) and increasing ferroptosis protective factors (e.g., GPX4, SLC7A11, GSH) in the hippocampus and cortex of AD mice, 574 suggesting that the natural compound curculigoside can be used as a promising therapeutic agent to improve AD by inhibiting ferroptosis
However, like any drug used intravenously, they may cause redness, itching, and irritation at injection sites
