(-)-S·R-蝙蝠葛苏林碱对N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸引起大鼠皮层神经元损伤的保护作用

Cultured neurons obtained from rat cortex were used to examine the protective effect of (-)-S·R-daurisoline (Dau) against N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) induced neurotoxicity. Cell viability was estimated by using trypan blue dye exclusion and MTT assay.Intracellular free Ca²⁺ concentration (［Ca²⁺］_i) was measured by using AR-CM-
MIC cation measurement system with Fura-2/AM as Ca²⁺-senstive fluorecent indicator. It was found that Dau could significantly inhibit NMDA-induced neurotoxicity and block NMDA-elicited increase of ［Ca²⁺］_i in concentration-dependent manner with IC₅₀ value of 7.1 and 6.4 μmol·L^-1 respectively. It is suggested that Dau has a significant protection against NMDA-induced neurotoxicity,the mechanism underlying the protection might be related to it antagonism against Ca²⁺ influx into cells via-NMDA-mediated ligand-gated ion channels.
