Dopaminergic neuroprotective mechanism of ar-atlantone and analog 2 in rat midbrain slice cultures

Caption

Although ar-atlantone and analog 2 do not inhibit the inflammatory activation of microglia, they exert neuroprotective effects by directly acting on dopaminergic neurons and activating Nrf2.
