초록
Objectives : Oxidative stress has a critical role in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of the ethanolic extract of Banryong-hwan (BRHE) in SH-SY5Y cells and primary rat mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. Methods : To assess the antioxidant effects, we carried out 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) free radical scavenging assay, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)(ABTS) radical cation decolorization assay, and determination of total polyphenolic content. We evaluated the effect of BRHE treatment on neuroprotection against 6-hydroxydopamine(6-OHDA) toxicity using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay, nitric oxide(NO) assay, reactive oxygen species(ROS) assay in SH-SY5Y cells and tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) immunocytochemistry in primary rat mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. Results : BRHE showed IC50 values of 328.10
