Abstract

The brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients are characterized by large deposits of amyloid beta peptide ($A{\beta}$). $A{\beta}$ is known to increase free radical production in nerve cells, leading to cell death that is characterized by lipid peroxidation, free radical formation, protein oxidation, and DNA/RNA oxidation. In this study, we selected an extract of Gardenia jasminoides by screening, and investigated its ameliorating effects on $A{\beta}$-induced oxidative stress using PC12 cells. The effects of the extract were evaluated using the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA) assay and the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction assay. To find the active component, the ethanol extract was partitioned with hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate, respectively, and the active component was purified by silica-gel column chromatography and HPLC. The results suggested that Gardenia jasminoides extract can reduce the cytotoxicity of $A{\beta}$ in PC 12 cells, possibly by reducing oxidative stress.
