Leonurine (SCM-198) is a natural product with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective activity being investigated for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Leonurine suppresses inflammation and oxidative stress, decreasing a number of inflammatory factors, reducing cardiac Nox4 expression, ROS production, NF-KB activation, and plasma MMP-2 activity and increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD).
Leonurine is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory cardioprotective agent.

Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by oxidative stress play a critical role in cardiac dysfunction associated with ventricular remodeling and heart failure. We recently reported that leonurine attenuated hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte damage. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of leonurine (originally

Leonurine, an alkaloid typically found in Herba leonuri, is known to have both antioxidant and cardioprotective properties. In the present study, we investigated the cardioprotective mechanism of leonurine the in vivo rat model of chronic myocardial ischemia and in vitro
European journal of pharmacology, 680(1-3), 108-114 (2012-02-07)
Leonurine, an active alkaloid of Traditional Chinese Medicine Herba leonuri, displayed cardioprotective effects by anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic activities in vitro and in vivo. Herein, we explored the effects and possible mechanisms of leonurine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in human
