Neuroprotective effect of Atremorine against oxidative stress and 6‐OHDA. SHSY5Y neuroblastoma cells were preincubated with Atremorine for 24 h prior to the addition of rote/oligo (A) and 6‐OHDA (B). Neuroprotective effects of Atremorine were evaluated in striatum and hippocampal slices subjected to 6‐OHDA (C) and oxygen and glucose deprivation (D), respectively; cell viability was measured as MTT reduction. Data are expressed as means+SEM of at least four different cell batches in triplicate. ***P<.001, with respect to control; ## P<.01, # P<.05, in comparison with toxic stimuli

Figure 2
Antiinflammatory effect of Atremorine in BV2 microglial cells. Panel (A) shows the protocol used to elicit inflammation. Microglia BV2 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of LPS in the absence or the presence of Atremorine for 24 h. Panel (B) shows Atremorine reduction of nitrite release elicited by LPS, measured as percentage of NO release. Panel (C) shows photomicrographs (original magnification 20×) of nontreated BV2 microglia, LPS‐treated (D) and Atremorine‐treated cells (E). Panel (F) shows statistics of the effect of Atremorine on activated phenotype elicited by LPS treatment. Data are expressed as means+SEM of at least four different cell batches in triplicate. ***P<.001, with respect to control; ### P<.001, ## P<.01, # P<.05, in comparison with toxic stimuli
