Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of butylphthalide on cognitive deficiencies following sleep deprivation (SD).

Methods: The influence of butylphthalide on cognitive function changes in SD-induced mice was evaluated. Nissl staining and HE staining were used to analyze the morphology changes of the hippocampal formation. The changes in cognitive function of SD-induced mice were detected by the Morris water maze. Inflammatory factors, apoptosis, and signal pathway-related proteins in the mice hippocampus were detected.

Results: SD increased escape latency and path length for mice to reach the hidden platform, decreased the time and range of activity in the target area, and reduced the number and time for traversing the target area. Butylphthalide significantly improved the cognitive decline of SD-induced spatial exploration and learning/memory ability. Butylphthalide also decreased the degeneration of hippocampal neurone, neuronal apoptosis, and inflammatory factors in hippocampus tissue. In addition, butylphthalide activated the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) pathway.

Conclusion: Butylphthalide alleviated SD-induced cognitive decline, neuronal apoptosis, and inflammation by activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. We suggested that butylphthalide may be a prospective candidate for the alleviation of cognitive deficit induced by SD.

Background: Ischemic stroke is a prevalent and life-threatening cerebrovascular disease that is challenging to treat and associated with a poor prognosis. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), a primary bioactive component of Astragali radix, has demonstrated neuroprotective benefits in previous studies. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms through which AS-IV may treat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI).

Five racemic phthalides from the aerial parts of Lycopodiastrum casuarinoides and their neuroprotective activities.

Phytochemistry

Xiangya School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410013, China. Electronic address:

Five racemic phthalides (1-5), including four undescribed phthalides monomers [(+)-1, (+)-2, (-)-2 and (-)-3], four undescribed phthalide dimers [(+)-4, (-)-4, (+)-5 and (-)-5], together with two known compounds [(-)-1 and (+)-3], were isolated from the aerial parts of Lycopodistrum casuarinoides. Their chemical structures were delineated by extensive spectroscopic data (UV, 1D/2D NMR, HRESIMS), in combination with the comparison of the experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra, calculated spin-spin coupling constants, and calculated NMR. All compounds were reported from Lycopodiaceae family for the first time.

Introduction: Dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a small molecular compound extracted from celery seeds, has been shown to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and anti-apoptotic effects. Recent studies have highlighted its efficacy in treating various cardiovascular conditions, such as myocardial infarction, hypertrophy, heart failure, and cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate whether NBP could alleviate cardiac dysfunction and injury following hemorrhage-induced cardiac arrest (HCA) in a porcine model and elucidate its potential mechanisms.

Objectives: For investigating an influence on butylphthalide sodium chloride injection combined with edaravone dextromethorphan on neurological function, serum free radical levels, and serum inflammatory factor levels in sufferers having acute progressive cerebral infarction (APCI).

Methods: A cohort of 200 patients, afflicted by APCI and admitted to our healthcare institution between December 2018 through July 2023, were incorporated into this longitudinal prospective analysis. Employing a random number table methodology, the patient cohort was bifurcated into a control group ( = 100) and an observation group ( = 100).

3-N-Butylphthalide alleviate Aβ-induced cellular senescence through the CDK2-pRB1-Caspase3 axis.

Brain Res

Department of Neurology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100050, China. Electronic address:

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and leading to cellular senescence and cognitive deficits. Cellular senescence contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of AD through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), exacerbating Aβ deposition. This study investigates the protective effects of 3-N-Butylphthalide (NBP), a compound derived from Apium graveolens Linn (Chinese celery), on Aβ-induced cellular senescence in U87 cells.
