  • Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) alleviates neuronal damage and seizures in epileptic mice by inhibiting ferroptosis.
  • DHA activates the SIRT1/FOXO1/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway to suppress ferroptosis, providing neuroprotective effects.
  • Experimental results show DHA reduces seizures, hippocampal damage, and cognitive deficits in mice.
  • DHA increases SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression, key markers in ferroptosis inhibition.
  • Clinical evidence supports the link between ferroptosis and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
  • The study suggests DHA as a potential therapeutic agent for epilepsy through ferroptosis regulation.
