Amentoflavone is a natural biflavone compound with many biological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and neuroprotective effects. We presumed that amentoflavone exerts a neuroprotective effect in epilepsy models. Prior to model establishment, mice were intragastrically administered 25 mg/kg amentoflavone for 3 consecutive days. Amentoflavone effectively prevented pilocarpine-induced epilepsy in a mouse kindling model, suppressed nuclear factor-κB activation and expression, inhibited excessive discharge of hippocampal neurons resulting in a reduction in epileptic seizures, shortened attack time, and diminished loss and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons. Results suggested that amentoflavone protected hippocampal neurons in epilepsy mice via anti-inflammation, antioxidation, and antiapoptosis, and then effectively prevented the occurrence of seizures.
穗花杉双黄酮是一种具有多种生物学特性的天然双黄酮化合物,包括抗炎、抗氧化和神经保护作用。我们推测穗花杉双黄酮在癫痫模型中发挥神经保护作用。在建立模型之前,小鼠连续3天经胃给予25 mg/kg穗花杉双黄酮。穗花杉双黄酮在小鼠点燃模型中有效预防了毛果芸香碱诱导的癫痫,抑制了核因子-κB的激活和表达,抑制了海马神经元的过度放电,从而减少癫痫发作,缩短发作时间,并减少海马神经元的丢失和凋亡。结果表明,穗花杉双黄酮通过抗炎、抗氧化和抗凋亡作用保护癫痫小鼠的海马神经元,进而有效预防癫痫发作的发生。
