Thonningianin a mitigates intervertebral disc degeneration by inhibiting ferroptosis via chelating Fe2+ and regulating the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/ nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/ glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway.
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and ferroptosis play critical roles in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Thonningianin A (TA) is a complex polyphenolic ellagitannin found in plants like Thonningia sanguinea, and it exhibits free radical scavenging, anti-superoxide anion generation and metal-chela...
