Inflammatory response plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke and anti-inflammatory agents may provide a choice of treatment. Triptolide is reported to be anti-inflammatory. In this study, we investigated the effects of triptolide on cultured neuronal cell line in vitro and
It has previously been demonstrated that ischemic stroke activates autophagy pathways; however, the mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study is to further investigate the role that autophagy plays in cerebral ischemia. 2, 4-diamino-6-hydroxy-pyrimidine (DAHP), for its nitric oxide synthase
Triptolide (TP), one of the major active components of the traditional Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, and 2, 4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP), an inhibitor of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis, have been reported to have potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability in humans. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed by reperfusion is widely accepted to mimic stroke in basic medical research. Triptolide is one of the major active components of the traditional Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook
OBJECTIVE
(5R)-5-Hydroxytriptolide (LLDT-8), an analogue of triptolide, displays lower toxicity compared to triptolide and has comparable immunosuppressive effects. We investigated the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of LLDT-8 on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.
METHODS
Nitric
