Scientific Background | R(-)-Gossypol is a natural phenolic compound derived from the cotton plant, known for its pro-apoptotic and enzyme-inhibitory properties. In neuroscience, it has been studied for its ability to modulate apoptotic pathways through regulation of Bcl-2 family proteins and inhibition of calcineurin. These mechanisms are relevant to neurodegenerative diseases characterized by dysregulated cell death and calcium signaling. |
