Microglial activation is an important pathological feature in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides play a crucial role in microglial activation. In addition, edaravone (EDA) was recently shown to suppress oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokine production in APPswePS1dE9 (APP/PS1) mice. However, the mechanism by which EDA inhibits the Aβ-induced proinflammatory response in microglia is poorly understood.
