A number of studies indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). The neuroprotective effects of salvianolic acid B (Sa1B) from Radix Salviae miltiorrhizae (RSM) against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced rat pheochromocytoma line PC 12 injury were evaluated in the present study. Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant, was employed as a positive control agent. Following exposure of cells to H2O2 (150 mu M), a marked decrease in cell survival and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), as well as increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) production and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release were observed. In parallel, H2O2 caused significant elevation in intracellular Ca2+ level and caspase-3 activity, and induced apoptotic death as determined by flow cytometric assay. However, pretreatment of the cells with SalB (0.1-10 mu M) prior to H2O2 exposure blocked these H2O2-induced cellular events noticeably. Moreover, SalB exhibited significantly higher potency as compared to Vitamin E. The present findings indicated that SalB exerts neuroprotective effects against H2O2 toxicity, which might be of importance and contribute to its clinical efficacy for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
