In vitro / AnimalMechanism of Action
Metabolised to genipin by gut bacteria; anti-inflammatory, choleretic, neuroprotective via GLP-1R activation; hepatotoxic at high doses
Research Notes
Neuroprotective in Alzheimer's models via GLP-1 receptor agonism. Choleretic effect supports traditional use for jaundice. Hepatotoxicity documented at high doses — genipin causes hepatocyte apoptosis via mitochondrial pathway.
