Description
Ginkgolide B is a PAFR antagonist with an IC50 of 3.6 μM. Ginkgolide B is a bioactive diterpenoid trilactone derived from Ginkgo biloba leaves, known for its potent platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonism. It has a complex structure with multiple chiral centers and exhibits significant neuroprotective and cerebrovascular benefits. These properties make it a promising candidate for treating neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, and conditions related to cerebral blood flow.
