Beta-Asarone Alleviates Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Inflammatory Response and NLRP3 Inflammasome Mediated Pyroptosis.

Beta-asarone (β-Asarone), the major component of Acorus tatarinowii Rhizoma, has been proved to be muti-pharmacological activities including anti-inflammation, and which is effective in protecting the central nervous system. However, the effect of β-Asarone on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is not yet clear. This study used a rat model with 45 min occlusion and 24 h releasing of proximal segment of left anterior descending coronary artery.
