Nardosinone

Nardosinone is a sesquiterpene and chemical constituent of Nardostachys jatamansi.[1] In in vitro studies, the compound has demonstrated concentration-dependent enhancement of bucladesine and staurosporine-induced neurite outgrowth.[2] Nardosinone has similarly been demonstrated to enhance NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis from PC12D cells.[3]
