This work supposed to investigate the improved impact of 5<i>α</i>-EAL on cognitive impairment. 5<i>α</i>-EAL inhibited the generation of nitric oxide (NO) in BV-2 cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with an EC<sub>50</sub> of 6.2 μM. 5<i>α</i>-EAL significantly reduced the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE<sub>2</sub>) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), while also inhibiting the production of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) proteins. The ability of 5<i>α</i>-EAL to penetrate the blood–brain barrier (BBB) was confirmed via a parallel artificial membrane permeation assay.
