Protective Effect of Combination of Xingnaojing and Ligustrazine on Rat's Cortical Neurons of Primary Culture / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of Xingnaojing(XNJ)and Ligustrazine(Lig)on rat's cortical neu_ rons of primary culture.METHODS:The effects of XNJ and Lig in counteracting the excitotoxicity of glutamic acid(10?l/L,3h)in rat's cortical neurons of primary culture were observed.RESULTS:Both XNJ and Lig could decrease the release of LDH from cells into culture medium and reduce the changes in cell morphology.CONCLUSION:XNJ or Lig can protect cultured cortical neurons from excitotoxicity of glutamic acid and more obvious effect can be initiated through combined use of them.
