Abstract

Using sodium cyanide (NaCN) and glucose deprivation induced cell injury in PC12 as an injury model, we investigated the protective effects of pulsatilloside A and anemoside A3 on neurons. The results showed that PC12 cells under the NaCN-injury and glucose deprivation would undergo apoptosis. Additions of pulsatilloside A and anemoside A3, at dosages ranging from 0.1, 1 and 10μg/ml, protected PC12 cells from apoptosis determined by MTT, LDH release analysis, and flow cytometry measurement.
