Ginkgolide B is a terpene lactone compound found in Ginkgo biloba and is recognized for its biological activity in scientific research. In studies, Ginkgolide B is particularly noted for its ability to act as a potent antagonist of platelet-activating factor (PAF), thereby making it a point of focus in research on blood flow and clotting mechanisms. Researchers utilize Ginkgolide B to explore its potential effects on cognitive function, as well as its influence on neuroprotective mechanisms due to its reported ability to modulate neurotransmitter pathways. Additionally, its role in the protection against oxidative stress is of interest when investigating cellular defense mechanisms against free radical damage. Ginkgolide B is also studied for its potential impact on inflammatory responses, where it may modulate various signaling molecules and pathways.
