Neuroprotective Effects of 3α-Acetoxyeudesma-1,4(15),11(13)-trien-12,6α-olide Against Dopamine-Induced Apoptosis in the Human Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y Cell Line

Dopamine (DA), as a neurotoxin, can elicit severe Parkinson’s disease-like syndrome by elevating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and apoptotic activity. We examined the inhibitory effects of 3α-acetoxyeudesma-1,4(15),11(13)-trien-12,6α-olide (AETO), purified from the leaves of Lau...

Description
Summary:Dopamine (DA), as a neurotoxin, can elicit severe Parkinson’s disease-like syndrome by elevating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and apoptotic activity. We examined the inhibitory effects of 3α-acetoxyeudesma-1,4(15),11(13)-trien-12,6α-olide (AETO), purified from the leaves of Laurus nobilis L., on DA-induced apoptosis and α-synuclein (α-syn) formation in dopaminergic SH-SY5Y cells. AETO decreased the active form of caspase-3 and the levels of p53, which were accompanied by increased levels of Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometric and Western blot analysis showed that AETO significantly inhibited DA-induced apoptosis along with suppression of intracellular tyrosinase activity, ROS generation, quinoprotein, and α-syn formation ( P
