2016, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :The link between cholinergic signal and OS provides an additional therapeutic target for AChEIs in AD (Nepovimova et al., 2015). Indeed, the AChEIs, tacrine (Xiao et al., 2000) and huperzine A (Xiao et al., 1999) were demonstrated to significantly protect rat pheochromocytoma cells against H2O2 insult. Thus, our finding may indicate that MT-031 may possess neuroprotective and anti-oxidative effects through its MAO/ChE inhibitory activities.

Active mitochondria of living cells can cleave MTT to produce formazan, the amount of which is directly related to the number of living cells (Xiao et al., 2000; Shao et al., 2007). LDH normally existing in the cell is often released to the medium from damaged neurons.
