AI Summary

In a rotenone-induced rat model of Parkinson's disease, the vasodilator naftidrofuryl produced neuroprotective effects associated with upregulation/modulation of PINK1/Parkin signaling and reduction of ER stress markers.

Why It Matters

Highlights repurposing potential for an approved drug that targets mitochondrial quality control and ER stress—mechanisms strongly implicated in PD—offering a tangible preclinical lead for further translational validation.
