Brosimine B and the biphasic dose-response: insights into hormesis and retinal neuroprotection by Susanne Suely Santos Fonseca, Susanne Suely Santos Fonseca, Natacha M. S. Port’s, Gisele Priscila Soares Aguiar, Eliã P. Botelho, Nádia M. G. Couto, Wandson Braamcamp Souza Pinheiro, André Salim Khayat, Elizabeth S. Yamada, Edmar T. Costa, Chubert Bernardo C. Sena, Mara Silvia P. Arruda, Carlomagno P. Bahia, Antonio Pereira

“…This study investigates the hormetic effects of Brosimine B, a flavonoid derived from Brosimum acutifolium, on retinal cell viability under oxidative stress.MethodsTo simulate ischemic conditions, we used an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model. Retinal cells were treated with varying concentrations of Brosimine B, and analyses of cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and antioxidant enzyme activity were performed.ResultsBrosimine B at 10 µM significantly enhanced cell viability and reduced ROS production, likely through modulation of oxidative stress-protective enzymes such as catalase. …”
