Serum deprivation-induced neuronal-like PC12 cell apoptosis was used as an ischemic/hypoxic model to screen neuroprotective compounds from the rhizomes of Gastrodia elata, a traditional Chinese medicine. Two active compounds, bis(4-hydroxybenzyl)sulfide (1) and N6-(4-hydroxybenzyl)adenine riboside (2), together with 15 known compounds were obtained from the active fraction. Compound 2 was further elucidated by chemical synthesis. Compounds 1 and 2 potently prevented PC12 cell apoptosis in concentration-dependent manners with EC50 values of 7.20 microM and 3.7 x 10-8 M, respectively, and IC50 values of 42.90 microM (Ki 24.10 microM) and 4.660 microM (Ki 2.620 microM), respectively, in an adenosine A2A receptor binding assay.

Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with ischemic stroke accounting for the majority of these. HBA is the active ingredient in and has potential therapeutic effects on central nervous system diseases. In this study, the cell model of cerebral ischemia was replicated by the culture method of oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation, and the rat model of vascular dementia was established by the two-vessel occlusion method.

Research on high-molecular-weight polysaccharides tends to be more difficult and lag in terms of their fine structures and bioavailability. We focused on Gastrodia elata Blume polysaccharides (GEPs) with different molecular weights and structural characteristics to reveal their bioactivities, especially those abundant high-molecular-weight GEPs. A novel high-yield polysaccharide (GEP1-2) with the high molecular weight of 3.

Background: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) represents a severe complication of sepsis, substantially elevating both mortality and healthcare costs for patients. Gastrodin (GAS), a principal bioactive constituent of Gastrodia elata Blume, is neuroprotective in various neurological disorders, including ischemic stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and neuropathic pain. In this study, we sought to investigate whether GAS could serve as a protective agent against SAE.
