Abstract: Model of cell injury induced by H2O2 was set up to evaluate the protective effect of the extracts derived from Alpinia officinarum Hance on PC12 cells injured by H2O2. Cell survival rate was detected by the MTT method,and the cell morphology was observed under fluorescence microscope. The leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase( LDH),malonaldehyde( MDA) content,activities of superoxide dismutase( SOD) and glutathione peroxidase( GSH-Px) in PC12 cells were analyzed when PC12 cells were treated with the extracts from A. officinarum. The extracts obviously decreased the LDH leakage rate and the MDA content,but increased activities of SOD and GSH-Px in PC12 cells in a dose-dependent manner. It is thus inferred that the extracts of A. officinarum have an obviously protective effect on PC12 cells injured by H2O2. A neuroprotective medicine might be derived from these extracts which need further study.
