Abstract:Objective: To investigate the antioxidant activity of the synthesized chalcone analogues in scavenging DPPH free radical and protecting against H2O2-induced PC12 cell injury. Methods: PC12 cells were divided as control group (DMSO group), injury group (H2O2 group), chalcone analogue+H2O2 group and positive control group (quercetin+H2O2 group). Sixteen chalcone analogues were designed and synthesized. DPPH assay was used to detect free radical scavenging activity; MTT assay was used to detect cell activity; MDA kit was used to detect lipid peroxidation; Hoechst staining was used to detect cell apoptosis; Western blot was used to detect cleaved-caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression. Results: Antioxidant 13 with excellent activity and low toxicity was obtained. Compared with DMSO group, the cell survival rate and Bcl-2 protein expression were decreased significantly, but cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax protein expression, MDA content were increased significantly in H2O2 group (all P<0.05); Compared with H2O2 group, cell survival rate was increased, Bcl-2 protein expression was up-regulated, cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax expression was down-regulated, MDA level were decreased in a dose-dependent manner by group 13 treatment (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The novel chalcone analogue 13 can inhibit H2O2-induced PC12 cells apoptosis, which has good antioxidant activity.
