Abstract:

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a complex pathophysiological process characterized by exacerbated brain tissue damage and related functional impairments following the restoration of blood flow after transient cerebral ischemia. Studies indicate that safflower alleviates ischemia-reperfusion injury through multiple mechanisms, including regulating hemodynamics, dilating blood vessels, improving hypoxia, counteracting free radical damage, exerting anti-inflammatory effects, and modulating neuronal autophagy. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects remain unclear. This review focuses on the neuroprotective roles of safflower in CIRI and its molecular mechanisms. By comprehensively analyzing the recent research advances, we find that bioactive components of safflower can mitigate CIRI through multiple pathways. This work aims to provide theoretical foundations for investigating the molecular mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in CIRI management and guide clinical rational drug utilization.

Key words: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, Safflower, Neuroprotection, Apoptosis
