abstract

objective: oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of brain ischemia and neurodegenerative disorders.previous studies indicated that viola tricolor and viola odorataare rich sources of antioxidants. this study aimed to determine whether these plants protect neurons against serum/glucose deprivation (sgd)-induced cell death in an in vitro model of ischemia and neurodegeneration. methods and material: the pc12 neuronal cells were pretreated for 4 hr with 1 to 50 µg/ml of v. odorata or v. tricolor hydroalcoholic extracts followed by 24 hr incubation under sgd condition. cell viability was evaluated by 4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl-2,5-diphenyl-2h-tetrazolium bromide assay. the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ros) was quantitated by flow cytometry using 2&apos;,7&apos;- dichlorofluorescin diacetate as a probe. results: sgd condition led to significant decrease in cell viability (p < 0.001). pretreatment with both v. tricolor and v. odorata extracts reduced the sgd-induced cytotoxicity. sgd resulted in a significant increase in intracellular ros production (p < 0.001). both extracts at concentrations of 25 and 50 µg/ml could reverse the increased ros production (p < 0.05). conclusion: results of the present study showed that v. tricolor and v. odorata protect neuronal cells against sgd-induced cell death, at least in part, by their antioxidant activities. further studies on the possible application of these plants in prevention or treatment of cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases seem to be warranted.

The mechanism of neuroprotective effect of Viola odorata against serum/glucose deprivation-induced PC12 cell death

Objective: Oxidative stress is associated with the pathogenesis of brain ischemia and other neurodegenerative disorders. Previous researches have shown the antioxidant activity of Viola odorata L. In this project, we studied neuro-protective and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities of methanol  (MeOH) extract and other fractions isolated from <e...

Extracts of Viola Odorata and Cassia Fistula Protect Against Acetic Acid-Induced Colitis

Background: Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease, which is treated effectively with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drugs. This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of the extracts of Viola odorata and Cassia fistula on the acetic acid-induced colitis in rats. Methods: We determined the total contents of phenols, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins in the plants’ extracts. Further...
