摘要: Glutamate-induced neuronal apoptosis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. 9-Hydroxy epinootkatol (9OHEN), a sesquiterpene compound with neuroprotective activity against glutamate-induced apoptosis, was isolated from Alpinia oxyphylla Miquel our previous study. In this study, we investigated mechanisms 9OHEN primary cultured neurons. The results study demonstrated that protected cortical neurons via inhibiting activation caspase-3, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, nitric oxide (NO) and downregulating synthase (nNOS) expression. This suggest might have therapeutic potential treating glutamate-mediated diseases.
