RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effects of extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves EGb761 on 1-methy-l 4-phenylpyridium (MPP+)-induced injury in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells; To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods Cell culture method was used and SH-SY5Y cell damage model was induced with different concentrations of MPP+ to build Parkinson’s disease model in vitro. The experiment was divided into control group, MPP+ model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose EGb761 groups. The survival rate was determined by MTT assay, and the apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry according to AnnexinV apoptosis detection kit. The cell morphology was observed by inverted microscope. NO content in SH-SY5Y cells was detected by Nitric acid reduction method.Results Compared with the control group, the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells decreased and the apoptotic rate and NO content increased in the model group (P<0.05); Compared with the model group, the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells increased and the apoptotic rate and NO content decreased in the low-, medium- and high-dose EGb761 groups (P<0.05).Conclusion EGb761 can protect MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cell from damage by the inhibition of the content of NO free radical.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the antibacterial activity of extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves on Porphyromonas gingivalis in vitro ,and to provid pharmacological reference for developing a new type of antibacterial drugs in the treatment of periodontal disease.Methods This experiment was divided into negative control group,imipenem control group and different concentrations and forms of extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves groups.Solvent extraction method was used to extract the extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves, punching method and test tube method were performed to detect the antibacterial activity of extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves in anaerobic environment invitro and compared with Staphylococcusaureus and E.coli.By observing the antibacterial ring diameter and determination of the minimum bacteriostasis concentration (MIC),the antibacterial activities of extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves in vitro were measured.Results In the experiment of bacteriostatic ring,Porphyromonas gingivalis was treated with extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves,Ginkgo biloba leaf tablet and Ginkgo biloba soft capsule concentrate and 1∶4 diluent,the bacteriostatic ring diameters were decreased with the decreasing of the concentration.The maximum bacteriostatic diameter of Ginkgo biloba extract was 1 6.5 mm,and the maximum bacteriostasis diameters of Ginkgo biloba leaf tablet and soft capsule were 15.3 and 14.5 mm,respectively;the bacteriostatic diameter of the exact of Ginkgo biloba leaves was bigger than those of Ginkgo biloba leaf tablet and Ginkgo biloba soft capsule (P 0.05);E.coli and Staphylococcusaureus groups get the same results.When the concentration of extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves was more than 1.95 mg·L-1 ,there was no growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis but E. coli and Staphylococcus aureusa still grew;only the concentrations of exact of Girkgo biloba leaves were more than 6.25 and 12.5 mg· L-1 ,E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus didn’t grow;the bacteriostatic effect of extract of Ginkgo biloba on Porphromonas gingivalis was better than E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus . Conclusion Extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves has antibacterial effect on Porphyromonas gingivalis.
