2-cyclohexylamino-5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone inhibits LPS-induced BV2 microglial activation through MAPK/NF-kB signaling pathways

Aims: To verify the effects of several 5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (DMNQ) derivatives on LPS-induced NO production, cellular ROS levels and cytokine expression in BV-2 microglial cells. Main methods: An MTT assay and FACS flow cytometry were performed to assess the cellular viability and apopto...
